Measurement and Evaluation in Psychology and Education, 8 th Ed.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Measurement and Evaluation in Psychology and Education (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
Very informative book and useful for its intended purpose. However, small script size with poor color contrast make it a very difficult read. If you use glasses, get stronger ones. Mathematical problems could benefit from more solution examples.

This review is from: Measurement and Evaluation in Psychology and Education (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
I used this text in 2006 for a 300-level (upper-level undergraduate) psychology class called "Psychological Tests and Measures" that was taught by a PhD whose "thing" was tests and measures.This text was better written than the following editions...and I paid next to nothing for it. FYI I earned an A for the class and graduated with a BS in psychology last year. ALSO GREAT STUDY MATERIAL FOR THE PSYCHOLOGY GRE!!!!!!!!!!!
