NCME Instructional Module: Standard Error of Measurement.
Harvill, Leo M.
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v10 n2 p33-41 Sum 1991
This paper discusses standard error of measurement (SEM), the amount of variation or spread in the measurement errors for a test, and gives information needed to interpret test scores using SEMs. SEMs at various score levels should be used in calculating score bands rather than a single SEM value.
