Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To ensure accuracy in test development, the test should be administered individually to elementary-school-age students in an environment that simulates the way that the final version of the test will be administered, providing the most accurate results. Choices A, B, and D are not appropriate for test tryout because the test is specifically designed for elementary-school-age students and should be tested on them, not high school students or experts in elementary school education. Administering the test as a group in as many classes as possible can lead to factors, such as distractions or differences in testing environments, that impact test results, and experts alone will not provide accurate feedback on the items from a student's perspective.
