Post by: Marwei on Mar 6, 2018
A researcher administers an achievement test to the same group of participants on three different occasions. In reporting the results, he describes the error that occurs from repeatedly testing the same individuals. This is called:
 
  a. content-sampling error
  b. time-sampling error
  c. interrater differences error
  d. test-taker variables error

Q. 2

A type of standard score with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 is
 
  a. deviation IQs.
  b. Z scores.
  c. T scores.
  d. percentiles.

Q. 3

A test should not be used for purposes not specifically recommended by the test developer unless
 
  a. other sources of information are taken into consideration in the final recommendations
  b. the norm group of the test is relevant to the test taker.
  c. evidence is obtained to support an alternative use.
  d. systematic procedures to verify the accuracy of scoring have been implemented.

Q. 4

In order to convert a raw score to a Z score, the following values are needed:
 
  a. (1) the raw score of the test taker, (2) the mean of the raw scores, and (3) the percentile rank.
  b. (1) the raw score of the test taker, (3) the standard error, and (3) the percentile rank.
  c. (1) the standard error, (2) the mean of the raw scores, and (3) the standard deviation of the raw scores.
  d. (1) the raw score of the test taker, (2) the mean of the raw scores, and (3) the standard deviation of the raw scores.

Q. 5

________________ can help clinicians in the verbal or written communication of test results
 
  a. Norm-referenced interpretations
  b. Qualitative descriptions of test scores
  c. Percentile ranks
  d. Criterion-referenced interpretations

Q. 6

One reason for choosing either norm-referenced or criterion-referenced interpretation involves
 
  a. the breadth of the construct being measured.
  b. the type of scores yielded by the tests.
  c. the original purpose of the test.
  d. the makeup of the original norm group.

Q. 7

Grade equivalents are useful because they
 
  a. are equal units of measurement.
  b. predict the grade level a student is ready for.
  c. can easily provide a basis of comparison of a student's performance with other students at a given grade level.
  d. are comparable across tests and subtests within the same test.
