• Your students will get valuable practice in interpreting actual excerpts from published test manuals.

• Each of the 39 exercises begins with a guideline that helps students review the measurement concepts they will need in order to complete the exercise.

• Background notes on each exercise describe the purpose of the test from which the excerpt was drawn.

• Students answer questions that require them to locate and interpret important points in the excerpt.

• The excerpts are largely unabridged so that students practice interpreting material as it is actually presented by test makers.

• The skills they learn with this book can be easily transferred to other test manuals they may be using in the future.

• Students have an ethical responsibility to be thoroughly familiar with the technical characteristics of the tests they will use. This book prepares them for this responsibility.

• All major topics are covered, including:

· validity

· reliability

· standard error of measurement

· norm group composition

· scales to detect faking

· item analysis

· cultural bias

• The excerpts are drawn from tests such as:

3.0 out of 5 stars Leaves a bit to be desired

This is required for an online class, and I must say that it is somewhat helpful; however, I find that it doesn't give you much guidance, and for a few of the exercises, I have to look up information simply because I don't understand the material. Also, there are no answers to the exercises. Many of them are based on opinion questions "do you agree with this statement? why/why not?", but there are many that are objective. I feel like there should be answers somewhere to help. Maybe in a face-to-face class this would be more helpful, but as it stands, I think I need more substance.
I do think that this will be a good reference text for the future.

Needed this for my Master's class and it provides the basics of understanding assessment. This provides basic information, which was supplemented by in class lecture and examples of the actual tests which were talked about in the book.

There are no answers!!! This is ridiculous! It is a guide book- It just asks questions and doesn't given you any instruction on how to answer the questions, or give you any correct answers! The material is complex and it provides no "guidance" for a "guide" book. Awful and misleading. Don't waste your money.

Product in good shape, but half of the workbook pages are filled out. Mostly in pencil, and it did say written in- I just didn't expect so much writing.
