• What information gained from observing the student during the administration of the test will add to the formal testing?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of using age and grade equivalent scores on standardized tests? What factors should be considered in the decision making?
• What should you do when setting up the testing environment to allow for a student’s behavioral issues and/or health/medical issues?
• What procedures illustrate best practices? What can you do to ensure the assessment is consistent with appropriate ethical conduct expected from professionals? Explain.
