Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The authors state that the most serious concern in testing minority children is their orientation to the testing situation, meaning they may not be familiar with the testing process or the expectations of the exam. This can lead to increased anxiety and poorer performance on the test, even if they are capable of performing well. While language difficulties in administration and low expectations by the examinee may also be concerns, the authors identify orientation to the testing situation as the most serious concern.
