Summary: A Must read for Parents and Teachers
Review: I am a parent who also is a doctoral student in measurement. I teach an undergraduate course which is required for pre-service teachers. I bought this book even though I have many more advanced level books on the topic because Popham does an excellent job presenting sometimes difficult and technical manner in a format which is humorous, inviting and easy to read - uncommon characteristics for most material in the field! In today's testing world this wonderful text is full of information to enable all parents to better understand testing and what they can do to help their child perform better. I feel teachers would also benefit from Popham's easy to understand expertise as he addresses parental concerns - teachers could learn not only measurement but gain a better understanding of parental concerns.
