Test-retest

today. Many people believe that it should happen because the recipients could use their income to buy illegal substances, but others believe that it could be considered discrimination and that it violates human rights. As of right now, 13 states drug test welfare recipients. The people who support welfare drug testing have quite a few reasons as to why they think it should happen. One of the biggest reasons I’ve seen as to why the recipients should be drug tested is that it could save taxpayers…

intelligence tests in which I recently had the opportunity to take and score included the Shipley Institute of Living Scale-2 and the Wonderlic Personnel Test. The purpose of this paper is to objectively evaluate each test and the subsequent results that I obtained in detail. In evaluating the Shipley-2 and the Wonderlic, I will also methodically describe the psychometric properties involved, explain the potential sources…

different perspective of gang life. Studying test scores and successful outcomes in children the authors attempt to show readers that being a successful parent is more about who they are than what they do. The authors of Freakonomics…

standardized test measure a student’s intelligence or ability to think critically? How does the ACT and SAT play a big role in placing students in categories without any real concept of that student’s capabilities? There are many reasons a standardized test is used; these reasons are to get an idea of where a student is academically in the school year, to see how much a grade has improved, as well as, what schools a student can attend throughout their schooling careers. Standardized tests have a…

is here. While it is true that there is a new way to test drugs by studying cell structures in a petri dish, it does not necessarily follow that it will give the same results as it does in on a living animal (Should animals be used for Scientific or Commercial Testing?). In order to properly test a drug, it is supposed to circulate through all the organs and a cell structure does not have a circulatory system to do that therefore, the tests made on the cell structure would not be accurate for…

the PACER test. This test was found to be valid and reliable by multiple recent and relevant studies (de Heer et al., 2011; Slusser et al., 2013; Wright et al., 2012). This test will be performed as the pretest and posttest to measure physical fitness. The PACER test will be completed as described in the manual provided by Nova Southeastern University (n.d). For children ages 6 to 9, a member of the research team will perform the PACER with the child to help guide them to perform the test…

personalities and different ways of learning that works for them. For example, one student may learn better by watching somebody work out a math problem with tangible items, while another student may learn better by hearing someone speak about a topic. Tests like FCAT do not allow students to fully immerse themselves in the learning process, thus making standardized testing more difficult for students who do not necessarily fit the mold of the type-A student good at memorizing a few strategies…

this study is the rationale for using out-of-level testing. There are three main themes to this sections. The first is, overly difficult tests promote increased guessing and student frustration, which reduced the accuracy of the test results. The basic question is whether students who score low on grade level tests would score higher on lower level of the same test. To answer this question much of the research on out-of-level testing has examined the effects on raw scored and derived scores.…

that all students of every age are familiar with. Every day students are forced to take tests or being forced to prepare for a test. According to James W. Popham, there are two different types of standardized tests. There is aptitude and achievement tests. Aptitude tests are used to predict how well kids will do in a new education setting. An example of this is the SAT and the ACT. The other type is achievement tests. These are used in American school systems to evaluate schools and students…

defined what test anxiety is, and what it means. In the article, it first showed how test anxiety truly is a problem, which can cause bad test scores in students all over the United States. The article further explained why the anxiety-ridden students perform poorly on their tests, “because they are too preoccupied with the thoughts about failure before or during a specific evaluation.” (Article 1: (H. Cho, 2016) ) The article also explained how cognitive techniques can reduce test anxiety. They…
