Test Fairness

Test fairness refers to the idea that assessments should measure knowledge and skills consistently across different groups of people, regardless of their backgrounds, experiences, or characteristics. A fair test ensures that no group has an unfair advantage or disadvantage, meaning that the results accurately reflect an individual's abilities rather than external factors. This includes avoiding biases related to culture, language, or socio-economic status. Ultimately, a fair test provides a level playing field, allowing everyone the opportunity to succeed based on their knowledge and skills alone.
