Camilli, Gregory – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2013
In the attempt to identify or prevent unfair tests, both quantitative analyses and logical evaluation are often used.

Cavanagh, Gray C.; Trip, Gus Van Vierssen – English Exchange, 1970
Tests are inevitably designed to measure students and therefore will affect both teaching techniques and the student's concept of what is important in learning. Standardized, objective high school English tests, which neglect the individual's needs or accomplishments, limit classroom freedom and the natural course of the curriculum. An integral…
