Criterion-Referenced Test Development is designed specifically for training professionals who need to better understand how to develop criterion-referenced tests (CRTs). This important resource offers step-by-step guidance for how to make and defend Level 2 testing decisions, how to write test questions and performance scales that match jobs, and how to show that those certified as ?masters? are truly masters. A comprehensive guide to the development and use of CRTs, the book provides information about a variety of topics, including different methods of test interpretations, test construction, item formats, test scoring, reliability and validation methods, test administration, a score reporting, as well as the legal and liability issues surrounding testing. New revisions include: Illustrative real-world examples. Issues of test security. Advice on the use of test creation software. Expanded sections on performance testing. Single administration techniques for calculating reliability. Updated legal and compliance guidelines.

This report is an interim document dealing with development of a Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) Construction Manual. The major objectives of the study were the development of an easy-to-use, 'how-to-do-it' manual to assist Army test developers in the construction of CRTs, and the identification of needed research to help achieve a more consistent, unified criterion-referenced test model. In order to accomplish these objectives, the study: surveyed the literature on criterion-referenced testing in order to provide an information base for development of the CRT Construction Manual; visited selected Army posts to review the present status of criterion-referenced test construction and application in the Army; prepared a draft CRT construction manual; conducted a trial application of the draft manual; and revised the CRT construction manual. The manual for developing criterion-referenced tests has been published as an ARI Special Publication: Guidebook for Developing Criterion-Referenced Tests.

Test Development: Fundamentals for Certification and Evaluation provides practical guidelines for the classical approach to test development – specifically for certification and credentialing. Most of the existing high-quality books on the topic of criterion-referenced test (CRT) development are written for professional statisticians and psychometricians. And the books written for the general reader tend to lack accurate, user-friendly coverage of some of the most critical topics. This book serves as an accessible resource on test development that does not require any technical background or expertise. Part I, Conceptual Principles, covers the process of CRT development in narrative form. Some of the topics covered include: defining content domain as related to job analysis and assessment objectives item writing and scoring understanding validity and reliability conducting item analysis defining and differentiating the major standard setting method preparing for and understanding issues with test administration. Part II, the Technical Appendix, contains the computational instructions and supplementary background material. This do-it-yourself manual is a valuable resource for training program developers, credential program developers, as well as other relevant human resources personnel and upper management who need to be on board for change management related to testing programs.
