the same way, every time
Drawn for this page. A standard score means something only if the test was given and scored the standard way.

How to use it

  1. Name the test and edition, and set how many practice runs you want.
  2. Mark preparation steps as you finish them.
  3. After each practice run, mark the administration and scoring steps.
  4. Have a qualified examiner observe at least one run.
  5. Go alone only when the checklist says ready.

What competent administration means

Why it matters

The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing say test users must follow standardized procedures and have the training a test requires. Scoring errors on individually given tests are common, especially early on, and change scores enough to change decisions.

Qualification levels

Publishers set who may buy and give each test. Check the level for your test and whether supervision is required.

What this is not

Test content or scoring rules. The publisher’s manual governs both.
