Anyone who has ever taken a test when the stakes are high\u2014to get a job, promotion or certification, to graduate from high school, to enter college or the military, or to become a citizen\u2014understands the importance of accurate test scores.<\/h3>\n

We tend to trust the test is well-designed to meet its intended purpose and the associated scores reflect the target knowledge, skills, and abilities. Such scores have a tremendous impact on our lives and our children\u2019s lives, so we often assume that the care given to producing them is commensurate with their potential consequences. How well-placed is that trust? Simply put, mistakes can and do happen. How do we minimize the chance mistakes will occur? In our experience, rigorous quality assurance (QA) at every step of the score generation process is the essential element.<\/p>\n<\/div>
