Abstract

The paper argues that contemporary test validity theory places the consequences of testing on the lives of all college applicants at the back of the test validation argument. It introduces the notion of test efficacy as a process to gather evidence on claims on consequences of testing on all college applicants that can be traced back to validity. The paper proposes a test efficacy framework to evaluate test efficacy claims on the impact of admission examinations on all college applicants (not just those attaining the admission standard).

测试效能：将验证从大学考试重新聚焦到候选人身上

摘要

该论文认为，当代考试有效性理论将考试对所有大学申请者生活的影响置于考试验证论点的后面。它引入了测试有效性的概念，作为一个收集所有大学申请者测试后果的证据的过程，这些证据可以追溯到有效性。该论文提出了一个测试效能框架来评估测试效能声称对所有大学申请者（而不仅仅是那些达到入学标准的人）入学考试的影响。
