Another reply says “ Wouldn't the grade level be defined by the median student?”, which is exactly how you get ever lowering standards. You start with a few good sounding assumptions, and then keep adjusting the level, because the assumptions cannot, no, may not be wrong. Financial incentives are another good example.

I never learned that till 3rd and 4th grade. Here's some sample questions from california standardized test. http://starsamplequestions.org/grades_2_3.pdf http://starsamplequestions.org/grades_2_3.pdf
