The Internationalization of Test Reviewing: Trends, Differences, and Results
Evers, Arne
International Journal of Testing, v12 n2 p136-156 2012
In this article, the characteristics of five test review models are described. The five models are the US review system at the Buros Center for Testing, the German Test Review System of the Committee on Tests, the Brazilian System for the Evaluation of Psychological Tests, the European EFPA Review Model, and the Dutch COTAN Evaluation System for Test Quality. For each model, a short description of the review procedure, the content of the model, and the format of publication is given. A comparison between the models shows that they differ on most of these procedural, content-related, and format aspects, although there is general agreement with respect to the qualities of a test that have to be reviewed. The strengths and weaknesses of each approach are discussed. Special attention is given to differences with respect to content, which should be addressed in the future. (Contains 1 table.)
