* Your students will get valuable practice in interpreting actual excerpts from published test manuals.

* Each of the 39 exercises begins with a guideline that helps students review the measurement concepts they will need in order to complete the exercise.

* Background notes on each exercise describe the purpose of the test from which the excerpt was drawn.

* Students answer questions that require them to locate and interpret important points in the excerpt.
