Customer Reviews

Educational Assessment of Students

Product arrived in good shape and very quickly following a report to customer service of item not received.

Good, Fast & Easy

I got exactly what I paid for. I saved $60 for this book that I need for my grad. class. At this point in my life, there are way too many things that I have to spend my money on other than books. This is a great seller. She kept me updated on exactly when she sent the package. Very fast, and very friendly. Keep it up!

Great! Thank you!

Received on time and book was exactly as expected. No problems with this seller. Thank you for your promptness. Greatly appreciated!

Must have reference book

This book is a "must-have" resource for anyone who has an interest in testing and assessment. I am a psychometrican, and it is a widely used resource among our psychometrics staff, as well as, with our measurement consultants and assessment specialists. It provides a comprehensive background into test reliability and validity. In addition, it presents many helpful tools for constructing all types of items. The checklists are especially beneficial, as well as, the chapter on interpreting score reports. Because the book is so comprehensive, it may best be used as guidebook and/ or reference book, rather than a book that one would read from cover to cover in the hopes to digest it all. I cannot say how many times I have referred back to this book in both my educational and professional life. I believe that it is written on a level that is relatively easy to follow, and the numerous examples that he provides help to illustrate the material. It is the most comprehensive book of it's kind in the field of educational assessment. I am also a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, and many students that I worked with during my doctoral study there also hold an opinion similar to mine. If the book is used in the way that it is intended to be used, it will probably be one of the most used reference books in your educational assessment library.
