What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Palmer, Chester – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Discusses use of item banks in preparing local tests, using as an example the construction of a college mathematics placement test. Compares recommended placements with course results at the end of the quarter. Students who placed themselves above recommendation did better than expected, perhaps because of strong self-selection factors. (PAS)

Donlon, Thomas F.; Breland, Nancy – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Describes an informal project that rescued the 1926 Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) from oblivion and administered it to a group of college students in 1980-81. Suggests the usefulness for this SAT as a prediction instrument today because of its excellent reliability and interest correlation. (PAS)
