Why is there a need for professional testing consultants?
Professional testing consultants are required to oversee the entire test development process. Although items are developed and revised by content experts who are subject matter experts (SMEs), testing consultants provide psychometric guidance, perform statistical analyses and ensure general continuity in the development cycle. At Assessment Strategies, our testing consultants are educated in statistics, measurement and/or industrial/organizational psychology, thereby reinforcing the company’s capability to provide professional test development services.
