Board Certified Psychometrist (BCP) Exam — Questions and Answers

Question 1: On the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), which validity scale specifically detects an examinee who is presenting an unrealistically positive self-image?

Negative Impression Management (NIM)
Inconsistency (ICN)
Positive Impression Management (PIM) (Correct answer)
Infrequency (INF)

Correct answer: Positive Impression Management (PIM)

The Positive Impression Management (PIM) scale on the PAI identifies respondents who are minimizing faults and presenting an overly favorable self-image.

Question 2: A norm table is stratified by age in 3-month intervals for children under 6. Why is finer age stratification used for younger children?

Developmental change per unit time is faster in early childhood (Correct answer)
Standardization samples are larger for young children
Older children have higher ceiling effects
Younger children are harder to test

Correct answer: Developmental change per unit time is faster in early childhood

Because cognitive and developmental abilities change more rapidly in early childhood, finer age bands are needed to produce accurate normative comparisons.

Question 3: When a clinic updates to a revised edition of a neuropsychological test, what is the professionally mandated method for handling the outdated, copyrighted test manuals and stimulus books?

Returning the materials to the publisher or destroying them via secure shredding or incineration. (Correct answer)
Disposing of the materials in a general office recycling bin.
Selling the outdated kits to other clinics that have not yet upgraded.
Donating the materials to a graduate training program for student learning.

Correct answer: Returning the materials to the publisher or destroying them via secure shredding or incineration.

Professional ethics and copyright law require that outdated, secure test materials be disposed of in a manner that prevents them from entering the public domain. The most appropriate methods are secure destruction (shredding/incineration) or, if offered by the publisher, returning them for disposal. Donating or selling materials, even to other professionals or students, is often an ethical violation as it can lead to the uncontrolled dissemination of non-current tests.

Question 4: Which of the following best describes 'construct validity'?

The consistency of scores produced across multiple test administrations
The degree to which test content represents the full range of the skill domain
The extent to which a test accurately measures the theoretical concept it purports to measure (Correct answer)
The ability of a test to predict future performance on related real-world tasks

Correct answer: The extent to which a test accurately measures the theoretical concept it purports to measure

Construct validity refers to how well a test actually measures the underlying theoretical construct (e.g., working memory, processing speed) it was designed to assess.

Question 5: A psychometrist is scoring a timed subtest and realizes the stopwatch was not started at the correct moment. The MOST appropriate action is to:

Record the maximum time allowed
Void the subtest results and re-administer if permitted by the manual (Correct answer)
Estimate the elapsed time and record it
Add 5 seconds as a standard correction

Correct answer: Void the subtest results and re-administer if permitted by the manual

Timing errors may invalidate time-sensitive subtests; re-administration per manual guidelines is the appropriate corrective step.

Question 6: Why is it essential for a psychometrist to use the most recent edition of normative tables when scoring a cognitive test?

The Flynn effect means older norms may overestimate current ability levels (Correct answer)
Insurance companies require the latest edition
Older editions have more printing errors
Newer editions always have more subtests

Correct answer: The Flynn effect means older norms may overestimate current ability levels

The Flynn effect demonstrates that population IQ scores tend to rise over time, so outdated norms can yield artificially inflated scores that do not accurately reflect current standing.

Question 7: A psychometrist calculates a Full Scale IQ of 103 using a 2020 normative sample. The test was originally normed in 2005. What phenomenon should be considered when interpreting this score?

Regression to the mean
The Flynn Effect (Correct answer)
Standard error of the mean
Cohort validity threat

Correct answer: The Flynn Effect

The Flynn Effect describes rising IQ scores over generations; using outdated norms inflates IQ scores because the current population performs better than the older norm group.

Question 8: Which action BEST demonstrates adherence to ethical data retention standards for psychological test records?

Retaining records for the period specified by applicable law and professional guidelines, then disposing of them securely (Correct answer)
Transferring all records to the client upon request without restriction
Keeping all records indefinitely to avoid disposal errors
Shredding records immediately after the report is finalized

Correct answer: Retaining records for the period specified by applicable law and professional guidelines, then disposing of them securely

Ethical standards and state/federal law specify minimum retention periods; records must be retained accordingly and then disposed of securely (e.g., shredding or encrypted deletion).

Question 9: A psychometrist working in a school setting is asked by a teacher to share a student's IQ score informally. What is the correct response?

Provide a range instead of the exact score to protect privacy
Explain that specific scores can only be shared through formal channels with appropriate consent (Correct answer)
Share the score since teachers are part of the educational team
Write the score on a sticky note so there is no digital record

Correct answer: Explain that specific scores can only be shared through formal channels with appropriate consent

Test scores are confidential and must be disclosed only through proper procedures with appropriate parental or guardian consent in educational settings.

Question 10: Which score from the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT-II) best indicates proactive interference?

Recognition discriminability
Long delay free recall
Total learning across trials
List B recall relative to List A Trial 1 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: List B recall relative to List A Trial 1

Comparing List B performance to List A Trial 1 reveals whether previously learned material interferes with new learning.

Question 11: A client initially consented to testing but now appears confused and no longer understands the process. The psychometrist's first obligation is to:

Proceed only if the original consent form is on file
Continue testing to avoid wasting scheduled time
Ask the client to sign a new consent form and resume
Stop testing and reassess the client's capacity to consent (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Stop testing and reassess the client's capacity to consent

Consent is an ongoing process; if a client loses capacity during testing, the psychometrist must stop and reassess before proceeding.

Question 12: A psychometrist is working with a 14-year-old examinee whose parents have provided legal consent for the evaluation. During the initial rapport-building, the adolescent clearly states, "I don't want to be here and I'm not doing any tests." What is the psychometrist's MOST ethical course of action?

Proceed with testing because the parents have provided legal consent.
Inform the adolescent that their participation is mandatory for their parents to get the needed information.
Cancel the appointment immediately and inform the parents of their child's refusal.
Acknowledge the adolescent's feelings, explore their concerns, and explain the evaluation process before seeking their willingness to participate (assent). (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Acknowledge the adolescent's feelings, explore their concerns, and explain the evaluation process before seeking their willingness to participate (assent).

Ethical practice requires psychometrists to seek and respect the assent of minors, which is their affirmative agreement to participate. While parents provide legal consent, forcing a reluctant adolescent to test is ethically questionable and can compromise rapport and test validity. The best approach is to engage the adolescent, address their concerns, and seek their cooperation.

Question 13: A psychometrist is asked by a school administrator to share specific test questions from a recently administered achievement battery to help teachers align their curriculum. What is the correct response?

Share the questions since it will benefit students educationally
Agree but ask the administrator to sign a non-disclosure agreement
Decline the request, explaining that sharing test items compromises future test validity and violates ethical standards (Correct answer)
Provide only a few sample items as a compromise

Correct answer: Decline the request, explaining that sharing test items compromises future test validity and violates ethical standards

Sharing specific test items with non-qualified individuals compromises the security of the instrument and invalidates its future use for those who gain prior exposure to the content.

Question 14: Which pre-test verification step is most important when using computer-based assessment software?

Confirming the client's social media accounts are deactivated
Checking that the software version and normative database are current (Correct answer)
Ensuring the monitor resolution matches the client's home computer
Verifying the client's typing speed exceeds 40 words per minute

Correct answer: Checking that the software version and normative database are current

Outdated software versions can contain scoring errors or use obsolete norms, directly threatening the validity of results.

Question 15: A psychometrist is converting raw scores to T-scores. If the normative mean is 50 and the standard deviation is 10, what T-score corresponds to a raw score that is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean?

55
60
65 (Correct answer)
70

Correct answer: 65

A T-score 1.5 standard deviations above the mean equals 50 + (1.5 x 10) = 65.

Question 16: A client who speaks only Spanish is asked to sign an English-language consent form. This practice is ethically problematic because:

Consent forms are not legally required
A signature is legally valid regardless of language comprehension
Spanish-speaking clients are exempt from the consent process
Informed consent requires that the client meaningfully understand what they are agreeing to (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Informed consent requires that the client meaningfully understand what they are agreeing to

Informed consent is only valid when the client genuinely understands the information presented; language barriers must be addressed before consent is obtained.

Question 17: When a psychometrist encounters a ceiling effect during testing, what has occurred?

The examinee scored below the basal level
The test items were administered in the wrong order
The examinee has reached the maximum score the instrument can measure (Correct answer)
The examinee refused to continue the assessment

Correct answer: The examinee has reached the maximum score the instrument can measure

A ceiling effect occurs when a test cannot adequately differentiate among high-performing individuals because scores cluster at the upper limit of the scale.

Question 18: A psychometrist notices that an examinee appears to be deliberately performing poorly on a cognitive measure. What is the most ethical course of action?

Stop testing and refuse to score the results
Confront the examinee about suspected malingering
Document the behavioral observations and continue administering the test per protocol (Correct answer)
Alter the scoring to compensate for suspected poor effort

Correct answer: Document the behavioral observations and continue administering the test per protocol

Documenting observations while maintaining standardized administration preserves test validity and provides the supervising psychologist with critical interpretive data.

Question 19: A patient with a known history of anxiety begins to hyperventilate and reports feeling dizzy during a challenging, timed cognitive task. What is the psychometrist's most appropriate immediate action?

Encourage the patient to push through the anxiety to get an accurate performance measure.
Pause the test, remove the stimulus materials, and help the patient focus on their breathing. (Correct answer)
Note the behavior in the record but continue timing the test to maintain standardization.
Immediately end the entire testing session for the day and reschedule.

Correct answer: Pause the test, remove the stimulus materials, and help the patient focus on their breathing.

The immediate priority is patient safety and well-being. Pausing the administration, removing the pressure of the test stimulus, and offering a calming strategy like focused breathing addresses the patient's acute distress. While the session may need to be discontinued later, this is the correct first step. Continuing the test would be unethical and would yield invalid results.

Question 20: The Digit Vigilance Test requires crossing out all 6s on a page of random digits. It primarily measures:

Verbal fluency
Sustained attention and processing speed (Correct answer)
Working memory capacity
Visuospatial perception

Correct answer: Sustained attention and processing speed

The Digit Vigilance Test measures sustained attention and speed by tracking performance across a long, monotonous target-detection task.

Question 21: Before a testing session, a psychometrist should verify that the examinee's name on their ID matches the name on which document?

The official authorization-to-test or eligibility confirmation document (Correct answer)
A letter from the examinee's employer
The psychometrist's personal notes
The previous year's test registration

Correct answer: The official authorization-to-test or eligibility confirmation document

Matching ID against the official authorization-to-test document confirms the correct person is being tested and prevents impersonation.

Question 22: Which pre-test consideration is specific to evaluating young children?

Requiring the child to sign their own informed consent form
Verifying the child has completed their SAT registration
Using adult-norm tables adjusted by a conversion formula
Assessing the child's current fatigue level and scheduling testing in the morning when possible (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Assessing the child's current fatigue level and scheduling testing in the morning when possible

Young children fatigue quickly, and cognitive performance is often best in the morning, making time-of-day scheduling a critical pre-test factor.

Question 23: During a memory test, you notice the patient is using their finger to silently count items on a list. This should be:

Stopped by removing the test stimuli
Quietly discouraged per standard instructions, then documented in behavioral observations (Correct answer)
Ignored as it does not affect scores
Allowed, as adaptive strategies are encouraged

Correct answer: Quietly discouraged per standard instructions, then documented in behavioral observations

Use of compensatory strategies may violate standardization; they should be managed per test protocol and documented.

Question 24: The Continuous Performance Test (CPT) is primarily used in neuropsychological assessment to measure:

Language comprehension
Memory consolidation over time
Intelligence quotient
Sustained and selective attention with vigilance (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Sustained and selective attention with vigilance

CPTs measure the ability to maintain attention and vigilance over time while responding selectively to targets and inhibiting responses to non-targets.

Question 25: An examinee's raw score on a subtest is 25. The normative data for this test indicates a mean of 35 and a standard deviation of 5. What is the examinee's z-score?

-1.5
-2.0 (Correct answer)
2.0
1.0

Correct answer: -2.0

The z-score is calculated by subtracting the mean from the raw score and then dividing by the standard deviation. In this case: (25 - 35) / 5 = -10 / 5 = -2.0. This indicates the examinee's score is two standard deviations below the mean.

Question 26: What is the role of an audit trail in test data management?

It tracks which examinees scored above average
It identifies which test forms are most popular among examinees
It summarizes the psychometrist's daily workload for billing
It records who accessed or modified records, and when, to support accountability (Correct answer)

Correct answer: It records who accessed or modified records, and when, to support accountability

Audit trails create a chronological log of data access and modifications, enabling detection of unauthorized activity and supporting regulatory compliance.

Question 27: When preparing the testing environment, which seating arrangement is generally most appropriate for individual test administration?

Both seated side by side facing the same direction
Examinee seated behind the examiner to reduce distraction
Examinee and examiner seated directly across a large table
Examinee and examiner seated at a 90-degree angle at a corner of the table (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Examinee and examiner seated at a 90-degree angle at a corner of the table

A 90-degree seating arrangement allows the examiner to observe the examinee, manage materials, and shield scoring from view.

Question 28: A supervising psychologist asks a psychometrist to score a test protocol for a neighbor's child as an informal 'favor,' outside of a formal clinical relationship and without official documentation. What is the psychometrist's most ethical course of action?

Score the protocol as requested to maintain a good relationship with the supervisor.
Politely decline, explaining that scoring assessments outside of a formal professional context with proper consent is unethical. (Correct answer)
Agree to score the protocol only if the neighbor pays the standard clinic fee.
Score the protocol but add a written note describing the informal nature of the request.

Correct answer: Politely decline, explaining that scoring assessments outside of a formal professional context with proper consent is unethical.

Ethical guidelines require that psychological assessments occur within a defined, professional client-provider relationship that includes informed consent, proper documentation, and a clear clinical purpose. Scoring a test as an informal 'favor' violates these principles and constitutes a dual relationship. Politely declining and explaining the ethical conflict (B) upholds professional standards. Complying with the request under any condition (A, C, D) would mean participating in an unethical action.

Question 29: Which ethical principle is MOST directly violated when a psychometrist uses a test normed on adults to evaluate a 10-year-old child without appropriate norms?

Competence
Beneficence
Integrity of assessments (Correct answer)
Justice

Correct answer: Integrity of assessments

Using a test outside its normed population violates the integrity of the assessment process and produces invalid, potentially harmful results.

Question 30: A psychometrist needs to transport a neuropsychological test kit, including stimulus books and manuals, from the main clinic to a satellite office. Which of the following represents the most secure method of transport?

Carrying the materials in a standard, open-top tote bag for easy access.
Placing the materials in a sealed box in the trunk of their car.
Mailing the materials to the satellite office using a standard postal service.
Placing the materials in a locked briefcase or bag that remains in the psychometrist's possession at all times. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Placing the materials in a locked briefcase or bag that remains in the psychometrist's possession at all times.

Test materials are confidential and must be secured to maintain their integrity. A locked container that remains in the psychometrist's direct possession prevents loss, theft, and unauthorized access. Leaving materials in a car (even in the trunk) poses a risk of theft, an open bag is not secure, and standard mail lacks the necessary security and chain of custody for such sensitive materials.

Question 31: A psychometrist who identifies signs of acute suicidal ideation in an examinee during testing should:

Document the observation in the report without taking immediate action
Immediately stop testing and notify the supervising clinician or appropriate clinical staff (Correct answer)
Ask the examinee to fill out a safety contract and continue with testing
Complete the testing session to avoid disrupting standardization before reporting

Correct answer: Immediately stop testing and notify the supervising clinician or appropriate clinical staff

Acute safety concerns override standardization protocols; the supervising clinician must be notified immediately.

Question 32: An examinee becomes verbally aggressive toward the psychometrist during a frustrating portion of the assessment. What is the priority action?

Calmly de-escalate the situation and assess whether it is safe to continue (Correct answer)
Immediately terminate the session and contact security
Continue testing while documenting the aggressive behavior
Firmly instruct the examinee to control their behavior or testing will end

Correct answer: Calmly de-escalate the situation and assess whether it is safe to continue

Calm de-escalation prioritizes safety for both parties while allowing a professional assessment of whether the session can safely and validly continue.

Question 33: What is the primary purpose of using the Test of Premorbid Functioning (TOPF) in a neuropsychological battery?

Evaluating visual-motor integration
Assessing working memory capacity
Estimating pre-injury intellectual ability (Correct answer)
Measuring current processing speed

Correct answer: Estimating pre-injury intellectual ability

The TOPF estimates premorbid cognitive functioning through irregular word reading to establish a baseline for comparison with current performance.

Question 34: During a testing session, an examinee is observed trying to discreetly take a picture of a stimulus card with their smartphone. What is the psychometrist's most appropriate IMMEDIATE action?

Ask the examinee to delete the photo and show proof of deletion before continuing the test.
Allow the examinee to finish the subtest to avoid confrontation, then report the behavior.
Stop the test administration, document the behavior and the time it occurred, and inform the supervising psychologist. (Correct answer)
Confiscate the phone for the remainder of the testing session to prevent further incidents.

Correct answer: Stop the test administration, document the behavior and the time it occurred, and inform the supervising psychologist.

The immediate priority when a breach of test security occurs is to stop the administration to prevent further compromise of test materials. The incident must be documented thoroughly and reported to the supervisor, as this action invalidates the test results and constitutes a serious security breach.

Question 35: The Judgment of Line Orientation (JLO) test is sensitive to lesions in which brain region?

Left temporal lobe
Left frontal lobe
Brainstem
Right posterior parietal cortex (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Right posterior parietal cortex

JLO, which requires matching the angle of line segments, is sensitive to right posterior parietal cortex lesions affecting visuospatial perception.

Question 36: Which score on the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) BEST captures a patient's overall learning efficiency across all five trials?

Trial 5 raw score
Total learning score (sum of Trials 1–5) (Correct answer)
Recognition hit rate
Retroactive interference index

Correct answer: Total learning score (sum of Trials 1–5)

The RAVLT total learning score (sum across Trials 1–5) reflects cumulative learning efficiency over repeated exposures to the word list.

Question 37: Under federal testing standards, accommodations provided for a disability must not:

Be provided in a separate testing room
Give the examinee an unfair advantage on the construct being measured (Correct answer)
Require additional documentation from the examinee
Alter the time limits for the examination

Correct answer: Give the examinee an unfair advantage on the construct being measured

Accommodations must remove barriers related to the disability without providing advantages on the skills or knowledge the test is designed to measure.

Question 38: During administration of a standardized test, a psychometrist notices the patient is squinting and leaning closer to the stimulus materials. What should be documented?

Nothing, as behavioral observations are outside the psychometrist's scope
The observed visual difficulty and any accommodations provided (Correct answer)
Only the test scores as the behavior does not affect results
A recommendation for the patient to see an ophthalmologist

Correct answer: The observed visual difficulty and any accommodations provided

Documenting observable behaviors such as visual difficulties is essential because they may affect test validity and inform clinical interpretation.

Question 39: A psychometrist discovers that test booklets from a previous administration were not shredded as required. What should be done FIRST?

Secure the materials and report the lapse to the testing program per protocol (Correct answer)
Return the booklets to candidates who used them
Reuse the booklets for the next administration to avoid waste
Shred the materials immediately without reporting the lapse

Correct answer: Secure the materials and report the lapse to the testing program per protocol

Securing remaining materials and reporting the security lapse allows the organization to assess risk and determine if score validity was compromised.

Question 40: Which of the following BEST illustrates a ceiling error in standardized testing?

Continuing to administer items after the ceiling rule has been met (Correct answer)
Recording responses verbatim when not required
Failing to convert raw scores to standard scores
Giving credit for all items below the basal even when some were failed

Correct answer: Continuing to administer items after the ceiling rule has been met

A ceiling error occurs when the psychometrist keeps testing beyond the established ceiling, generating invalid additional items.

Question 41: Which documentation element is MOST critical when an examinee's disruptive behavior forces early termination of a subtest?

The examinee's diagnosis
The referral source's contact information
The specific behaviors observed, time elapsed, and items completed (Correct answer)
The psychometrist's personal interpretation of the cause

Correct answer: The specific behaviors observed, time elapsed, and items completed

Objective behavioral observations, timing, and progress data are essential for the supervising psychologist to interpret partial results.

Question 42: Which storage practice best protects the security of completed test protocols containing sensitive client responses?

Storing them in a locked, access-controlled area separate from general office files with a sign-out log (Correct answer)
Keeping them on the psychometrist's desk for easy access during report writing
Placing them in a desk drawer that closes but does not lock
Filing them in an unlocked cabinet in a shared office space

Correct answer: Storing them in a locked, access-controlled area separate from general office files with a sign-out log

Completed protocols contain both protected test content and confidential client data, requiring storage in a locked area with controlled access and a tracking system.

Question 43: A psychometrist observes that the testing environment has excessive noise during a standardized assessment. Which action best reflects ethical practice?

Increase vocal volume to compensate for the noise
Stop the test and relocate to a quieter environment before resuming (Correct answer)
Note the noise on the record form and continue testing
Complete the session and mention the noise in verbal feedback only

Correct answer: Stop the test and relocate to a quieter environment before resuming

Maintaining standardized testing conditions is an ethical obligation, and relocating to an appropriate environment protects the validity of the assessment results.

Question 44: Which best describes 'data minimization' as it applies to psychometric record keeping?

Minimizing the number of examinees tested per session
Collecting as much data as possible to improve diagnostic accuracy
Gathering and retaining only the data necessary for the intended assessment purpose (Correct answer)
Reducing the number of test items to shorten administration time

Correct answer: Gathering and retaining only the data necessary for the intended assessment purpose

Data minimization requires collecting and keeping only information that is directly needed for the assessment, reducing privacy risk.

Question 45: When preparing a testing room, which seating arrangement is generally MOST appropriate for standardized test administration?

Examinee seated on a couch for maximum comfort
Examinee seated across a desk from the psychometrist with stimulus materials easily positioned (Correct answer)
Examinee and psychometrist seated at opposite ends of a long conference table
Examinee and psychometrist seated side by side at a round table

Correct answer: Examinee seated across a desk from the psychometrist with stimulus materials easily positioned

A face-to-face arrangement across a desk allows proper positioning of test materials while maintaining appropriate observation of the examinee.

Question 46: Age-equivalent scores are considered psychometrically problematic primarily because:

They cannot be applied to examinees under age 5
They imply equal intervals between units that may not exist (Correct answer)
They are difficult for untrained examiners to calculate
They require computerized scoring to be accurate

Correct answer: They imply equal intervals between units that may not exist

Age-equivalent scores falsely assume equal intervals, meaning a 1-year difference at age 6 is treated as equivalent to a 1-year difference at age 14, which is statistically unsound.

Question 47: Which of the following items should be removed from a testing room BEFORE examinees enter?

Emergency exit signs
Informational posters or materials related to test content (Correct answer)
Wall clocks
Window blinds

Correct answer: Informational posters or materials related to test content

Any materials that could provide an unfair advantage or cue answers — such as content-related posters — must be removed or covered before testing.

Question 48: What does the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) primarily evaluate?

Language comprehension
Visuospatial construction
Executive function and perseveration (Correct answer)
Short-term memory capacity

Correct answer: Executive function and perseveration

The WCST measures executive functions including abstract reasoning, set-shifting, and perseverative responding.

Question 49: During a lengthy assessment, an adult examinee appears visibly tired, is yawning frequently, and their response speed has noticeably slowed. According to standardized test administration principles, what is the MOST appropriate first step for the psychometrist to take?

Encourage the examinee to try harder and focus on the remaining tasks.
Administer a different, shorter test to see if performance improves.
Offer a scheduled, standardized break according to the test manual's guidelines. (Correct answer)
Discontinue the test immediately and note the behavior in the final report.

Correct answer: Offer a scheduled, standardized break according to the test manual's guidelines.

Standardized test manuals often provide specific guidelines for managing examinee fatigue, which may include offering scheduled breaks. Taking a standardized break maintains the integrity of the administration while addressing the examinee's needs. Encouraging them to 'try harder' ignores physiological needs, discontinuing immediately may be premature, and switching tests violates the requested assessment plan.

Question 50: A psychometrist is asked by their supervising psychologist to administer a newly developed assessment for which they have no prior training or experience. The psychologist provides the manual and says, "It's straightforward, you'll figure it out." According to the BCP Code of Conduct, what is the most appropriate action for the psychometrist to take?

Refuse to administer the test, stating it is outside their scope of practice without exception.
Administer the test as requested, relying on the manual for proper administration and scoring.
Ask a more experienced psychometrist colleague to administer the test in their place.
Inform the supervisor they are not qualified and request direct supervision and training before administering the test. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Inform the supervisor they are not qualified and request direct supervision and training before administering the test.

The BCP Code of Ethics requires psychometrists to recognize their limitations and only provide services for which they are qualified by training and/or supervision. The most ethical and responsible action is to acknowledge this limitation to the supervisor and explicitly request the necessary training and supervision to become competent before administering the new instrument.

Question 51: Which of the following elements is NOT a mandatory component of the informed consent process before beginning a psychometric evaluation?

Informing the client of their right to withdraw at any time.
Discussing the purpose and nature of the assessment.
Guaranteeing a specific diagnostic outcome. (Correct answer)
Explaining the limits of confidentiality.

Correct answer: Guaranteeing a specific diagnostic outcome.

The informed consent process requires explaining the purpose of the testing, how the data will be used, the client's right to withdraw, and the limits of confidentiality. It is unethical and impossible to guarantee a specific diagnostic outcome, as the results are based on the assessment data collected.

Question 52: An examinee asks the psychometrist 'Did I get that right?' after completing a problem-solving item. The appropriate response is:

'You're doing fine, let's move on to the next one.' (Correct answer)
'No, but let's keep going.'
'I can't tell you the answers, but keep trying your best.'
'Yes, you did a great job on that one!'

Correct answer: 'You're doing fine, let's move on to the next one.'

A neutral, encouraging response avoids confirming or denying correctness, preserving standardized conditions while supporting the examinee.

Question 53: Which of the following best describes the concept of rapport building in psychometric testing?

Providing the patient with expected score ranges before testing
Establishing a professional relationship that encourages the patient's best effort (Correct answer)
Allowing the patient to choose which tests to complete
Sharing personal information to make the patient comfortable

Correct answer: Establishing a professional relationship that encourages the patient's best effort

Rapport building involves creating a supportive professional environment that motivates the patient to perform to the best of their ability during assessment.

Question 54: Which of the following neuropsychological tests is specifically designed to detect effort and non-credible cognitive performance (performance validity)?

Verbal Fluency FAS
Symbol Digit Modalities Test
Hooper Visual Organization Test
Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM)

The TOMM uses a recognition paradigm with forced-choice format to detect non-credible memory performance that falls below chance or normative expectations.

Question 55: An adult examinee arrives for an evaluation and informs the psychometrist that they use hearing aids for a significant hearing impairment. The psychometrist's most appropriate FIRST step is to:

Immediately inform the supervising psychologist that the testing cannot proceed.
Proceed with testing but speak much louder than usual.
Document the impairment and administer only the non-verbal portions of the planned battery.
Inquire if the hearing aids are present and functioning properly. (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Inquire if the hearing aids are present and functioning properly.

The most appropriate initial step is to ensure that any existing assistive devices are present and functioning correctly. This confirms the examinee has the best possible chance to hear the standardized instructions. Any further concerns or needs for modification should then be discussed with the supervising psychologist, but verifying the status of the hearing aids is the immediate responsibility of the psychometrist.

Question 56: A 10-year-old child is scheduled for a psychoeducational assessment. When the psychometrist greets the child and their parent, the parent immediately asks, "Will this testing tell us for sure if my child has ADHD?" What is the psychometrist's most appropriate response?

"It's possible, but we are testing for many different things today, not just ADHD."
"The purpose of this testing is to gather information about your child's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. The psychologist will then use this information, along with other sources, to make a diagnosis." (Correct answer)
"I am not the one who makes the diagnosis; you will have to wait to speak with the psychologist for that."
"Yes, the results are definitive and will provide a clear diagnosis."

Correct answer: "The purpose of this testing is to gather information about your child's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. The psychologist will then use this information, along with other sources, to make a diagnosis."

A psychometrist's role is to administer and score tests; they do not interpret results or provide diagnoses. This response correctly defines the psychometrist's role, accurately describes the purpose of the evaluation, and manages the parent's expectations without providing diagnostic information, which is outside the scope of their practice.

Question 57: If an examinee's score on a subtest falls exactly on the boundary between two age groups in a norm table, the psychometrist should:

Use the norms for the older age group to be conservative
Average the norms from both adjacent age groups
Use the norms for the younger age group to be conservative
Follow the manual's specific instructions for boundary cases (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Follow the manual's specific instructions for boundary cases

Norm tables include explicit instructions for boundary cases; deviating from those instructions violates standardized procedure.

Question 58: When a standardized test manual specifies a discontinue rule of three consecutive failures, and the examinee fails items 7, 8, and 9 but then spontaneously answers item 10 correctly, what should the psychometrist do?

Credit item 10 and continue testing
Credit item 10 but still discontinue after it
Restart the subtest from the beginning
Stop testing after item 9 as the discontinue rule was met (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Stop testing after item 9 as the discontinue rule was met

Once the discontinue criterion is met, testing stops regardless of any subsequent correct responses the examinee may offer.

Question 59: During a forensic neuropsychological evaluation, an examinee appears to be deliberately performing poorly. The psychometrist's role is to:

Skip further testing as the data is invalid
Coach the examinee to improve effort
Administer all validity indicators as standardized and document all observed behaviors (Correct answer)
Confront the examinee about suspected malingering

Correct answer: Administer all validity indicators as standardized and document all observed behaviors

Psychometrists administer embedded and stand-alone validity indicators per protocol and document observations; interpretation of malingering is the supervising psychologist's role.

Question 60: An examinee asks, "Can you repeat that question?" during a subtest where the manual does not specify whether questions can be repeated. What is the psychometrist's most professional and standardized response?

Paraphrase the question to help the examinee understand.
"I'm sorry, I am not allowed to repeat any questions." (Correct answer)
Repeat the question verbatim as it was initially presented.
Consult a general testing standards guide to determine the correct procedure.

Correct answer: "I'm sorry, I am not allowed to repeat any questions."

When a test manual does not explicitly permit the repetition of instructions or items, the default standardized procedure is to not repeat them. This prevents providing an advantage to the examinee that was not given to the normative sample. Providing a firm but polite refusal is the most appropriate action to maintain standardization. Repeating or paraphrasing introduces a variable that could invalidate the results.

Question 61: A standardized score of 70 on an instrument with M=100 and SD=15 corresponds to approximately which percentile?

16th percentile
5th percentile
10th percentile
2nd percentile (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 2nd percentile

A score of 70 is two standard deviations below the mean (z = –2.0), which corresponds to approximately the 2nd percentile.

Question 62: When performing a pre-test inspection of a testing room, a psychometrist should check which of the following related to emergency procedures?

That examinees are trained in CPR
That emergency exit routes are unobstructed and the psychometrist knows the evacuation protocol (Correct answer)
That all emergency exits are locked to prevent interruption
That the fire suppression system is serviced

Correct answer: That emergency exit routes are unobstructed and the psychometrist knows the evacuation protocol

The psychometrist must know the evacuation route and ensure exits are accessible so that, in an emergency, the session can be safely interrupted and examinees evacuated.

Question 63: What is the primary ethical concern with using photocopied versions of copyrighted test protocols?

It violates copyright law and may compromise test standardization and security (Correct answer)
The copies may be of poor print quality
There is no ethical concern if the copies are used for training purposes only
It is acceptable as long as the originals were purchased at some point

Correct answer: It violates copyright law and may compromise test standardization and security

Using photocopied test materials violates copyright protections and can compromise the standardization and security of the assessment instruments.

Question 64: Which type of scoring error occurs when a psychometrist awards credit for a response that does not meet the minimum criteria stated in the manual?

Omission error
Basal error
Commission error (Correct answer)
Ceiling error

Correct answer: Commission error

A commission error involves giving credit (scoring a response as correct) when the scoring criteria have not been met.

Question 65: A psychometrist is managing data for a research study involving cognitive test scores. Which practice best ensures data integrity during electronic entry?

Using double-entry verification for all scores (Correct answer)
Relying on automated optical scanning only
Entering all data at the end of the testing week
Having the patient verify their own scores

Correct answer: Using double-entry verification for all scores

Double-entry verification, where data is entered twice and compared for discrepancies, is a gold-standard method for ensuring accuracy in data management.

Question 66: When a ceiling rule is reached during test administration, what is the correct scoring procedure for items beyond the ceiling?

Administer remaining items anyway to gather qualitative data
Score remaining items as correct since they were not administered
Leave remaining items blank and do not include them in the raw score
Score remaining items as zero or incorrect per the manual's instructions (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Score remaining items as zero or incorrect per the manual's instructions

Items beyond the ceiling are scored as incorrect or zero because the ceiling rule assumes the examinee would not pass more difficult items.

Question 67: Which of the following best describes the purpose of a basal rule in standardized testing?

It establishes that the examinee has mastered items below a certain difficulty level (Correct answer)
It determines the ceiling level for discontinuation
It calculates the raw score conversion
It identifies the median performance level

Correct answer: It establishes that the examinee has mastered items below a certain difficulty level

Basal rules assume that an examinee would have answered all easier items correctly, establishing a floor of competence.

Question 68: Which of the following is the MOST appropriate use of social media by a BCP-credentialed psychometrist?

Tagging the clinical facility in posts about specific patient progress
Sharing identifiable patient performance details in a closed professional Facebook group
Posting de-identified 'interesting case' vignettes to a professional forum for peer discussion (Correct answer)
Connecting with current patients on LinkedIn to maintain therapeutic rapport

Correct answer: Posting de-identified 'interesting case' vignettes to a professional forum for peer discussion

Sharing fully de-identified case vignettes for professional education is permissible; any disclosure that could identify a patient is a privacy violation.

Question 69: A psychometrist notices that a patient's score profile shows uniformly low scores across all subtests. Before finalizing the data, what should be checked first?

Whether the patient has a prior diagnosis
Whether the referring physician approves the results
Whether the correct normative table was used (Correct answer)
Whether the scores can be curved upward

Correct answer: Whether the correct normative table was used

Uniformly low scores across all subtests may indicate that an incorrect normative table was applied during scoring, which should be verified before interpreting results.

Question 70: Which statement best describes 'basal level' in individually administered achievement tests?

The mean score for the normative sample
The age-equivalent score
The lowest consecutive block of correct responses establishing where scoring begins (Correct answer)
The highest item administered

Correct answer: The lowest consecutive block of correct responses establishing where scoring begins

The basal establishes the point below which all items are assumed correct, preventing unnecessary administration of very easy items.

Question 71: During an attention assessment, a phone notification sounds from the psychometrist's pocket. The most appropriate response is to:

Pretend it did not occur and continue administration without comment
Note the interruption, silence the device, and document the disruption in testing conditions (Correct answer)
Check the notification quickly to ensure it is not an emergency
Stop the subtest, apologize, and restart from the beginning

Correct answer: Note the interruption, silence the device, and document the disruption in testing conditions

Any environmental disruption should be documented as a testing condition; the psychometrist should also immediately eliminate the source of distraction.

Question 72: A patient refuses to complete a specific subtest, stating it is 'pointless.' The psychometrist should:

Substitute an equivalent subtest from a different battery
Skip the subtest without documenting the refusal
Explain the importance of the test and, if refusal persists, document it and notify the supervisor (Correct answer)
Insist the patient must complete all tests as instructed

Correct answer: Explain the importance of the test and, if refusal persists, document it and notify the supervisor

After a respectful explanation, persistent refusal should be documented and escalated to the supervising psychologist.

Question 73: Which standardized score metric has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 on most major intelligence tests?

Stanine
Full Scale IQ (Correct answer)
Scaled score
T-score

Correct answer: Full Scale IQ

Full Scale IQ scores on instruments like the WAIS and WISC use a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15 as their scoring metric.

Question 74: A supervising psychologist is concerned about potential symptom exaggeration in a forensic evaluation. They instruct the psychometrist to administer an objective personality measure known for its robust, empirically-derived validity scales designed to detect various forms of non-credible responding. Which of the following tests best fits this description?

Rorschach Inkblot Test
NEO Personality Inventory-3 (NEO-PI-3)
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) (Correct answer)
Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

Correct answer: Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3)

The MMPI-3 (and its predecessors) is the premier objective personality instrument with a comprehensive set of validity scales (e.g., L, F, K, Fp-r, FBS-r) specifically created to evaluate an individual's test-taking approach. These scales are invaluable for identifying inconsistent responding, underreporting, and overreporting (exaggeration) of symptoms. The NEO-PI-3 assesses personality traits but lacks these specific forensic validity scales, while the Rorschach and TAT are projective tests without such formalized, empirically-based validity scales.

Question 75: An examinee arrives 25 minutes late to a 60-minute timed examination. According to standard practice, what should the psychometrist do?

Give the examinee the full 60 minutes regardless
Allow entry and extend the time by the amount they were late
Deny entry and reschedule per program policy (Correct answer)
Allow entry but do not extend the testing time beyond the scheduled end

Correct answer: Deny entry and reschedule per program policy

Most testing programs do not permit late arrivals after a defined cutoff, and the psychometrist must follow the program's stated late-arrival policy.

Question 76: What is the primary purpose of the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM)?

Calculating the mean score for a normative sample
Comparing the validity of two different tests
Estimating the range within which an examinee's true score likely falls (Correct answer)
Determining the reliability coefficient of a test

Correct answer: Estimating the range within which an examinee's true score likely falls

The SEM quantifies the margin of error in an obtained score, allowing clinicians to construct a confidence interval around that score for the true score.

Question 77: Which statistical property of a norm table indicates how precisely a scaled score estimates true ability?

Coefficient alpha of the total test
Interrater reliability of item scoring
Standard error of measurement (SEM) (Correct answer)
Skewness of the raw score distribution

Correct answer: Standard error of measurement (SEM)

The SEM quantifies the expected variability around an obtained score, indicating the precision with which it estimates the true score.

Question 78: Discriminant (divergent) validity is demonstrated when:

A test accurately predicts future real-world outcomes
A test shows low correlations with measures of theoretically unrelated constructs (Correct answer)
Different raters produce identical scores on the same protocol
A test correlates highly with measures of the same construct

Correct answer: A test shows low correlations with measures of theoretically unrelated constructs

Discriminant validity is established when a test does NOT correlate highly with measures of constructs it theoretically should not be related to, showing specificity.

Question 79: An examinee whose scores are flagged for statistical anomalies should FIRST be:

Notified and given an opportunity to respond per the program's due process procedures (Correct answer)
Allowed to retake the exam without any notification
Automatically disqualified from the credentialing program
Reported to law enforcement immediately

Correct answer: Notified and given an opportunity to respond per the program's due process procedures

Due process requires that flagged examinees be informed of the concern and given a fair opportunity to respond before any adverse action is taken.

Question 80: During a memory assessment, a patient begins crying and shares a recent personal loss. What is the most appropriate response from the psychometrist?

Immediately end the session and refer the patient to a therapist
Tell the patient to focus on the task and continue testing
Begin providing grief counseling to help the patient
Provide brief empathic acknowledgment and assess whether the patient can continue (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Provide brief empathic acknowledgment and assess whether the patient can continue

Offering brief empathy while assessing the patient's readiness to continue balances compassion with the professional role of the psychometrist.

Question 81: A psychometrist is managing test data for a research study and needs to de-identify participant records before sharing with the research team. Which element must be removed to comply with data management standards?

The examiner's professional credentials
The standardized score ranges and percentile ranks
The participant's date of birth combined with their testing location (Correct answer)
The test edition and form number used

Correct answer: The participant's date of birth combined with their testing location

Combinations of date of birth and testing location can potentially identify individuals and must be removed or modified during de-identification.

Question 82: An examinee asks for the correct answer after failing an item. The standardized response is to:

Skip the next three items as a compensatory measure
Record the question and answer it fully at the end of the session
Tell the correct answer to maintain rapport
State a neutral phrase such as 'Let's just keep going' and proceed to the next item (Correct answer)

Correct answer: State a neutral phrase such as 'Let's just keep going' and proceed to the next item

Providing answers contaminates subsequent performance and is inconsistent with standardized neutral administration.

Question 83: The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition (Vineland-3) assesses functioning in all of the following domains EXCEPT:

Daily Living Skills
Communication
Socialization
Academic Achievement (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Academic Achievement

The Vineland-3 measures Communication, Daily Living Skills, Socialization, and Motor Skills, but not academic achievement.

Question 84: Which aspect of the NEPSY-II differentiates it from most other neuropsychological batteries?

It uses only self-report questionnaires
It provides only a single composite IQ score
It is a developmental neuropsychological battery designed for children ages 3–16 (Correct answer)
It is normed exclusively for adults

Correct answer: It is a developmental neuropsychological battery designed for children ages 3–16

The NEPSY-II is a comprehensive developmental neuropsychological battery normed for children aged 3 to 16 years across six functional domains.

Question 85: In the context of dual relationships, why should a psychometrist avoid administering tests to a close friend or family member?

Personal relationships can compromise objectivity and the validity of test interpretation (Correct answer)
Insurance companies will not reimburse for testing of known individuals
Friends and family are not eligible for standardized testing
It would take too long to complete the assessment

Correct answer: Personal relationships can compromise objectivity and the validity of test interpretation

Dual relationships threaten professional objectivity and can bias both test administration and interpretation of results.

Question 86: A psychometrist learns during testing that a client has been physically abused. In most U.S. states, the psychometrist is:

A mandated reporter required to report suspected abuse to authorities (Correct answer)
Permitted but not required to report, based on clinical judgment
Prohibited from reporting without the client's explicit consent
Only required to report if the abuse is ongoing

Correct answer: A mandated reporter required to report suspected abuse to authorities

Most states designate mental health professionals, including psychometrists, as mandated reporters who must report suspected child or vulnerable adult abuse.

Question 87: An examinee wears hearing aids. Before beginning an auditory processing subtest, the psychometrist should:

Substitute a visual version of the subtest
Ask the examinee to remove the hearing aids
Increase the loudness of spoken stimuli
Verify the hearing aids are functioning and document device use in the session record (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Verify the hearing aids are functioning and document device use in the session record

Hearing aid status is clinically relevant information and must be documented so the clinician can factor it into score interpretation.

Question 88: The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) was developed primarily for use with which population?

Adults and older adults screening for dementia and acquired brain injury (Correct answer)
Forensic populations determining malingering
Children with learning disabilities
Infants with developmental delays

Correct answer: Adults and older adults screening for dementia and acquired brain injury

The RBANS was designed as a brief, repeatable screening battery for detecting cognitive decline and acquired impairment in adults and older adults.

Question 89: What does the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test primarily measure?

Executive function (Correct answer)
Fine motor coordination
Long-term memory
Verbal comprehension

Correct answer: Executive function

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test assesses executive functions such as cognitive flexibility, problem-solving, and the ability to learn from feedback.

Question 90: A psychometrist is asked by an attorney to release raw test data from a client's neuropsychological evaluation. What should the psychometrist do?

Release the data immediately as requested
Provide only a summary of the results
Refer the request to the supervising psychologist (Correct answer)
Destroy the records to protect confidentiality

Correct answer: Refer the request to the supervising psychologist

Raw test data release decisions fall under the supervising psychologist's authority, not the psychometrist's independent judgment.

Question 91: Which scenario represents a breach of confidentiality by a psychometrist?

Mentioning a patient's diagnosis to a colleague in a public waiting room (Correct answer)
Documenting assessment results in a secured electronic health record
Discussing a de-identified case with a supervisor for consultation
Sharing results with another treating clinician after receiving a signed release

Correct answer: Mentioning a patient's diagnosis to a colleague in a public waiting room

Discussing identifiable patient information in a public area where others may overhear constitutes a breach of confidentiality.

Question 92: A test site supervisor notices an examinee using an unauthorized calculator. Under most testing protocols, the BEST immediate response is to:

Immediately dismiss the examinee from the testing room
Allow the examinee to finish and note the incident in the report
Pretend not to notice to avoid disrupting other examinees
Confiscate the device and allow the examinee to continue under observation (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Confiscate the device and allow the examinee to continue under observation

Confiscating the unauthorized item stops the violation while allowing testing to continue, with a full incident report filed afterward.

Question 93: When the examiner presents a stimulus book and asks the examinee to identify which picture 'goes with' a target, they are most likely administering which subtest type?

Visual-spatial construction
Sentence repetition
Finger tapping
Matrix reasoning or visual analogies (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Matrix reasoning or visual analogies

Matrix Reasoning and similar visual analogy subtests ask examinees to identify the picture that completes a pattern or relationship.

Question 94: A psychometrist working in a school setting is asked by a teacher to share specific IQ scores from a student's evaluation. How should the psychometrist respond?

Post the results in the student's classroom file for easy access
Provide a general range instead of exact scores
Explain that specific scores can only be released by the supervising psychologist through proper channels (Correct answer)
Share the scores since the teacher works with the student daily

Correct answer: Explain that specific scores can only be released by the supervising psychologist through proper channels

Psychometrists must protect test security and confidentiality by directing score disclosure requests to the supervising psychologist.

Question 95: According to ethical and professional standards, what is the primary reason for maintaining the strict security of psychological test materials, such as manuals, test forms, and stimuli?

To prevent prior access to test content, which would invalidate the test's norms and the integrity of the results. (Correct answer)
To protect the publisher's copyright and prevent financial losses.
To reduce the high costs associated with re-developing tests if they become public.
To ensure that only doctoral-level psychologists can purchase the materials.

Correct answer: To prevent prior access to test content, which would invalidate the test's norms and the integrity of the results.

The primary ethical obligation regarding test security is to protect the validity and integrity of the psychological instruments themselves. If test content becomes public knowledge, individuals could practice or prepare for the items, which would render the standardized norms useless and the test results invalid for clinical assessment. While copyright (A) and development costs (C) are practical concerns for publishers, they are secondary to the ethical mandate of ensuring the tests remain valid and reliable tools.

Question 96: Before administering a cognitive assessment, a psychometrist notices the testing room temperature is unusually cold. What is the most appropriate action?

Cancel the session and reschedule for another day
Proceed with testing and note the temperature in the report
Adjust the thermostat or relocate to a comfortable room before starting (Correct answer)
Ask the examinee to wear a coat and continue

Correct answer: Adjust the thermostat or relocate to a comfortable room before starting

Environmental conditions such as temperature must be optimized before testing begins to ensure valid results.

Question 97: A psychometrist is conducting a forensic evaluation. How does informed consent differ from a standard clinical assessment?

Informed consent is not needed in forensic settings
The evaluee must be told that the evaluation is not for their therapeutic benefit and results may be shared with the court (Correct answer)
The evaluee automatically waives all confidentiality rights
Forensic evaluations require consent from the judge only

Correct answer: The evaluee must be told that the evaluation is not for their therapeutic benefit and results may be shared with the court

In forensic evaluations, the evaluee must understand that the purpose is not therapeutic and that findings may be disclosed to legal authorities or the court.

Question 98: Which behavioral observation is MOST important to document when an examinee struggles with a timed subtest?

The room temperature during testing
Whether the examinee had breakfast that morning
The exact score obtained on the subtest
The examinee's emotional reaction and coping strategies (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The examinee's emotional reaction and coping strategies

Documenting behavioral reactions such as frustration, anxiety, or persistence provides clinically valuable context for interpreting timed subtest performance.

Question 99: A psychometrist notices that a colleague is administering a standardized test while skipping items the examinee finds difficult. What is the MOST appropriate initial action?

Ignore it since the colleague is more experienced
Document the observation and report it to a supervisor (Correct answer)
Invalidate the examinee's entire test record immediately
Confront the colleague publicly during testing

Correct answer: Document the observation and report it to a supervisor

Observing and reporting ethical violations through proper channels is required under professional codes of conduct.

Question 100: In the context of test administration, 'discontinue rules' are designed primarily to:

Ensure the client is exposed to all items regardless of ability level
Mark where the client's disability becomes apparent
Allow the psychometrist to end the session early for scheduling convenience
Prevent unnecessary distress by stopping when continued items are unlikely to yield valid scores (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Prevent unnecessary distress by stopping when continued items are unlikely to yield valid scores

Discontinue rules protect the client from unnecessary frustration and ensure efficient use of testing time when further items are unlikely to be passed.
