The major elements of a test interpretation model which would assist school personnel in presenting standardized test information to the public are presented. The model is a prototype based upon the testing program used in the Oakland, California Public Schools. An outline and sequence of the test score presentation are suggested, including notes on important background concepts. A discussion of test scores as they reflect school needs, and a selection of questions frequently asked by parent and community groups are provided. Consideration is given to uses of test scores, questions in interpreting test results, types of tests given in schools, test norms on comparison groups, types of test scores, summary statistics, and suggested data for presentation. Statistical illustrations are provided. (AE)
