sentence:- Tests at the age of 7 provide a benchmark against which the child's progress at school can be measured.

its something good used to compare other things. Like this country's law against chemicals that damage the environment is a benchmark to all to live up to. (Something good has happened that other places, people can look up to as a goal for them to achieve also)
