Abstract	This article looks at the changes made to examinations in England over recent decades and asks about the politics behind the changes. It considers how increasingly centralised the assessment regime has become, moving from a system where teachers could have a say in how pupils are assessed to a regime dominated by government approved tests. It considers too how the standards-based tests in England are both political in the abstract and party-political in their content. (As Provided).
