Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing

The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing provide guidelines for the development and use of tests that measure educational and psychological functions. These standards aim to ensure that tests are valid, reliable, fair, and ethical, meaning they should accurately measure what they claim to measure, produce consistent results, be equitable for all individuals, and respect privacy and confidentiality. Adhering to these standards helps ensure that test results are meaningful and can be trusted to make important decisions in educational and psychological settings, such as assessments, admissions, and evaluations.
