[quote=Anonymous]As someone who has worked in the field of standardized testing, I'd be curious as to how this test is constructed, and how questions are road tested, how they account for issues like bias, etc. Any national or international standardized test has to meet all sorts of metrics and questions are tested heavily before they are used. I doubt that the association of Christian schools has an institutionalized set of standards and procedures similar to those that a group like ETS would have. People who write standardized test questions often get paid several thousand dollars for writing one passage with questions and answers, and many of those passages never even make it to the final version, but are thrown out after testing, etc. Making a test like the SAT is really expensive. I wonder how a much smaller, newer organization without a comparable infrastructure is actually creating this test, and how reliable it is, etc. [/quote]
