Summary:

This introductory-level presentation will trace the changing nature of admissions tests historically as they have progressively transformed from ability tests to tests of academic achievement to an increasing degree. It will have three foci: test administration and scoring, the content of the examinations, and some methodological considerations. Test administration and scoring will focus primarily on technological reflections. The content of the tests will consider how the admissions tests are moving from ability to academic achievement tests. Finally, the methodological considerations will involve universal design, the language of testing, keeping tests fair, and security issues.
