The final section covers the development of a test administration manual, selecting test administrators, and contacting sampled schools.A companion CD contains examples of released items from national and international tests, sample questionnaires, and administrative manuals.The book should serve as a useful resource for those interested in educational assessment and evaluation, especially for personnel engaged in national assessments of student achievement.
