A standardized test is first given to a control group. The raw scores from this result calibrates the test, usually by statistical method ie bell curve. This becomes the standard for the "standardized" test.
Standardized tests have advantages, for example they can keep the reported scores consistant between versions or years the test is given. Also they are not skewed by taking a mean, because of the number of high performing candidates. The SAT is an example of standardized testing.
An unstandardized test, the raw scores are used to evaluate the results directly, so one must consider the test population as a factor in the reported score.
