Multiple Choice

This activity contains 10 questions.

	The test record form is called the   stimulus materials response booklet protocol scoring guide

	Items given to acquaint students with the types of questions and responses expected in the test are called   basals demonstration items ceilings none of the above

	What is the name of the point in the test at which it can be assumed that the student would receive full credit for all easier items?   starting point basal ceiling range of performance

	Which types of scores are best for comparing students with the norming group?   age-equivalent scores percentile scores grade-equivalent scores all of the above

	Which statement is false?   Test scores always contain some element of error. The standard error of measurement is based on the test's reliability and standard deviation. A student's true score always falls within the confidence interval around observed scores. A tester can choose different levels of confidence intervals from 68% confidence to 90% confidence, or even higher.

	A student earns a standard score of 83 on a test, with a standard error of measurement of 6 standard score units. Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?   The student's score is reported with the range of standard scores 77–89, with a probability of 90% that the true score lies within that range. The student's score is reported with the range of standard scores 80–86, with a probability of 68% that the true score lies within that range. The student's score is reported with the range of standard scores 77–89, with a probability of 68% that the true score lies within that range. The student's score is reported with the range of standard scores 80–86, with a probability of 99% that the true score lies within that range.

	When the standard error of measure increases, the confidence interval   increases decreases stays the same becomes more precise

	According to the textbook, if a test's mean is 80 and its standard deviation is 5, how would you classify a score of 93?   high average above average average low average

	A tester begins administration with item 35 and the basal is 6 consecutively numbered correct responses. If the student answers questions 35 through 40 correctly and misses 41, what should the tester do?   administer item 34 administer item 30 administer item 42 discontinue testing

	Computer-assisted testing is   advantageous for students with disabilities because they can take as much time as they need easier for students because it maintains their attention for longer periods of time able to monitor student responses, provide motivation and re-direct the student if necessary rarely used with students with disabilities because it may lower their scores
