Removed from article:

Attributes: test fidelity, objectivity, test reliability, test validity.
A test item is a component of an assessment tool which requires a response by the test-taker and which is scored separately. Items are combined in a test to measure a student's characteristics. The combination of items is chiefly guided by concerns about reliability.

Removed "Standardized tests often consist of mostly multiple-choice questions. They are often graded by a computer, since they are usually administered to a very large group of people."

  • There is no reason standardized tests need to be multiple choice, and in the UK, they rarely are.
  • "Often"? Maybe in some countries, but I don't think this generalisation should be made.
  • "large number of people" - standardized tests are often given individually, particular in areas such as dyslexia tests.

We need to change the name of this page. Not all tests assess students. I propose either "Test (skills assessment)" or "Exam." -Smack 03:12, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)
