Constructing Test Items : Multiple-Choice, Constructed-Response, Performance and Other Formats (Evaluation in Education and Human Services)

Rating:
Summary: Same old
Review: This is an important book. We know because Dr. Osterlind tells us so over and over. For a hundred bucks, it ought to be. There's really little here that Gronlund, Haladyna, and others haven't written about before. What's really disappointing is that the examples are rife with the type of careless errors and inconsistencies he so decries. Psycometrician, heal thyself!

Rating:
Summary: useful, practical advise
Review: This is the only book that truly addresses important practical aspects of how to writer quality test questions. But is is more than just a "how to" book. It gives information about many aspects of test construction that can lead to valid score interpretations. Unique in the field. I recommend it to anyone in the testing industry.

Rating:
Summary: types of tests.
Review: Types of tests and it purposes and characteristics of tests in school.
