  1. A teacher gives the same test to two different groups of students using two different forms of the test. Both forms are intended to measure the same skills. This practice tests for:

    Answer: Parallel-form reliability

    Parallel-form reliability checks whether two equivalent versions of a test yield consistent scores for the same students.

  2. Which assessment practice gives students the most agency in demonstrating their own learning?

    Answer: Student-led conferences and self-assessment

    Student-led conferences and self-assessment empower learners to reflect on, present, and evaluate their own progress.

  3. A school reports that its 7th graders scored a grade equivalent of 9.5 on a reading test. This MOST accurately means:

    Answer: 7th graders scored as well as the average 9th grader in month 5 of the school year

    Grade equivalents compare a student's score to the average score of students at a particular grade and month in the norming sample.

  4. Which type of evaluation is conducted AFTER instruction to determine the overall level of student achievement?

    Answer: Summative assessment

    Summative assessments evaluate cumulative learning at the end of a unit, course, or instructional period.

  5. On a 40-question test, the average score is 28 and the standard deviation is 2. A student scores 32. Approximately how many standard deviations above the mean is this student?

    Answer: 2

    The score of 32 is 4 points above the mean of 28, and 4 ÷ 2 (standard deviation) = 2 standard deviations above the mean.

  6. Which of the following is the BEST example of authentic assessment?

    Answer: A student-designed science experiment presented to a panel

    Authentic assessment involves real-world tasks where students apply and demonstrate their knowledge in meaningful, context-rich ways.

  7. A test blueprint specifies that 40% of items should assess comprehension and 60% should assess application. This blueprint primarily ensures:

    Answer: Content validity

    A test blueprint (table of specifications) ensures content validity by aligning the proportion of test items to instructional emphasis.
