Publisher Synopsis
"Contemporary students are certain to be among the most tested of any generation, something unlikely to change in the next few years. Consequently, Van Blerkom's discussion of measurement and statistical concepts makes good sense...the author does a good job of discussing a variety of formal and informal testing issues. They will be helpful to educators and the interested public. The language is straightforward and reasonable."--CHOICE August 2009, Vol. 46 No. 11 Read more...
