Chapter 2 is on Reliability and Measurement Error. Chapter 3 is on Test Development. Considerable attention is given to performance assessment. It includes a requirement for sensitivity reviews of tests by a diverse panel. Test content should assure that inferences for all groups are valid.
More documentation is required.
Test users must train raters and ensure adequate reliability. Chapter 4 on Scales, Norms, and Score Comparability contains increased emphasis on linkages, adaptive testing, cut scores, and standard setting. One new requirement is to examine item context effects when changing item order in multiple forms of the same test. Regular re-examination of norms is required. Criterion referenced cut scores are endorsed.
