Reviews for Unintended Consequences Of High-stakes T
Critiques of high-stakes tests are not uncommon, although they are usually directed at a particular instrument or policy. For those interested in broad-sides rather than sniping, The Unintended Consequences of High Stakes Testing provides better grist for the mill. Highly recommended. All levels.
