About the Book

When you're writing a test, you really don't want to make any mistakes. And yet, teachers, educational test writers, and even those who specialize in assessment make them all the time. In this book, veteran testing professional Jan Gleiter breaks down the most common problems test-writers face--and tells you how to solve those problems as you craft tests. Walter MacGinitie, author of the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests, praises the book, saying that it "has the potential to bring about a genuine improvement in testing. It gives sound general advice and sensible specific guidance, using many clear examples to show how test questions and testing practices can be improved. The writing is fresh and direct, making the principles easy to understand and follow".

About the Author :
Jan Gleiter has spent more than three decades as a writer and editor in the field of educational publishing, specializing for most of that time in assessment, although she also writes in the areas of literature and English language arts. As the Project Director of the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests and the Cognitive Abilities Tests, she mastered the art of test construction and learned the importance of validity in assessment. Jan also authored a successful middle-school vocabulary program, Words to Go, for grades 6, 7, and 8. She has written a series of biographies for the juvenile market and two mystery novels, one of which won the Malice Domestic award for "best first traditional mystery." Jan lives in Chicago. After many years of working for several of the biggest and best-known corporations in educational publishing, she is currently self-employed as an educational writer.
