Recenzje

"...designed as a guide for all who are involved in test development....the book offers one approach to problem identification, program implementation, and program evaluation. It is an example of how one system wrestled and continues to wrestle with the increasing concern over basic skills among entering college students."
—Harvard Educational Review
