How Standardized
Surface Forms
Morphology
The phrase's meaning is directly and compositionally derivable from its parts: 'standardized' (made to a common standard) + 'testing' (administering tests) yields the idea of tests given and scored uniformly. This is a common, cross-linguistic construction and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words, despite its use in educational contexts.
Etymology
The term standardized testing comes from the idea of giving everyone the same questions and scoring them in the same way. Here standardized means made the same and testing means checking what people know, so the tests are made to let results be 'compared' across students or schools.
