The No Child Left Behind Act and the accountability movement in public education caused many states to develop criterion-referenced academic achievement tests. Scores from these tests are often used to make high stakes decisions. Even so, these tests typically do not receive independent psychometric scrutiny. We evaluated the 2005 Arkansas Benchmark Examination, which was being used as part of the accountability system in Arkansas at that time, based primarily on The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and the Code of Fair Testing Practices in Education. Numerous concerns related to test development and data reporting were revealed Recommendations applicable to criterion-referenced testing in any state are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
