Summary
The use of tests in educational or behavioural disciplines is to assess the academic performance or learning outcomes of individuals and to assess curriculum and educational needs of an academic programme (Çokluk et al, 2016). Decisions can be made from the results of tests for educational advancement or improvement. Test results form a critical decision base to judge the capabilities of different individuals in terms of their knowledge, understanding and skills. To Çokluk et al (2016), test results aid in understanding individuals, employing, placing, selecting, guiding and assessing them. Some scholars warned that individual/organizational test developers, practitioners, and interpreters must develop and implement eligible methods to examine test development and psychometric qualifications (Camilli and Shepard, 1994; Holland and Wainer, 1993)
