Based on a comparison with the maximum possible absolute score example 32 out of 33 correct, classroom test (percentage correct)
predetermined standard
Define norm referenced score test
Based on comparison with scores from other test takers
e.g. standardized test percentile rank individual to average score
What is a confidence interval? standard error of measurement? why are they used
Range (+/-)
Not get stuck on a number
Name three important facts that should appear in a test manual
Purpose of the test
reliability of the test
validity
Uniform procedures administration scoring
How are reliability and validity related and why are they important
A valid test is reliable; validity is based on reliability
a reliable test may or may not be valid
if a test is reliable and valid we can make good sound helpful inferences
