It states that persons of different backgrounds, ages or familiarity with testing may need nonstandard modes of test administration. When test data are stored, you must preserve the test protocol. Chapter 6 covers Supporting Documentation. It emphasizes clearly written and understandable materials for test users. That is, the higher the consequences of the test, the more the required analysis and documentation.
Considerable detail is provided on what to document in test manuals.
Chapter 7 on Fairness emphasizes the importance of fairness across all aspects of testing and provides a context for the standards. Nearly all of the standards in this chapter are new or substantially revised. Fairness is to be judged in the context of feasible test and nontest alternatives. The chapter contains four definitions of fairness, however no one definition is endorsed. Studies of fairness are required when research shows differences in item functioning, score meaning, or effects of construct irrelevant variance.
