Koretz, Daniel
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v17 n3 p280-94 Fall 1995
Studies of the mathematics assessments of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are summarized. One study found that omit rates for NAEP test items were higher for African Americans and Hispanics than for whites. The other found that descriptions and examples for the 1992 mathematics achievement levels were misleading. (SLD)
