III. LESSON OVERVIEW

The administration of tests is not a simple task. There are points to be considered, there are
conditions to be prepared for, and there is a need to be cautious so that the validity and reliability of
tests would not be sacrificed.

1. identify positive and negative practices in test administration; and
2. recommend solutions to improve practices on test administration.
