Classical Test Theory (hint: X = observed score; T = true score; E = error)
X = T - E
X = T + E
T = X + E
T = X - E

What does variance measure?
The accuracy of what a test measures
The amount of spread in a set of scores
The average range of scores
What does "asymptomatic to the horizontal" mean?
A person will score closer to the mean or average score the next time they take the test
The further from the mean, the less frequent a score is
When there are outliers, the curve will skew either positively or negatively
The closer to the mean, the more likely the score will be replicated
What does "regression to the mean" mean?
A person will score closer to the mean or average score the next time they take the test
The further from the mean, the less frequent a score is
When there are outliers, the curve will skew either positively or negatively
The closer to the mean, the more likely the score will be replicated

Are percentiles good for comparing scores?
Yes, because they are easily understood by parents
Yes, because they are used in all test interpretations
No, because they do not accurately estimate score differences
No, because they are often confused with percentages
What are the best scores to use to make comparisons?
Raw scores
Standardized scores
Percentiles
True scores
Can you measure someone's true score?
Yes, the true score is the raw score + the error
Yes, the true score is the same as the raw score
No, the true score does not include any error
No, the true score does not exist
