This text investigates the methodologies and theoretical frameworks required to accurately measure and evaluate student achievement within an educational setting. Authors J. Stanley Ahmann and Marvin D. Glock draw upon their extensive backgrounds in educational psychology to provide a structured approach to testing, grading, and interpreting pupil growth. The work serves as an abridged synthesis of their broader research, focusing on the practical application of assessment tools for educators and administrators.

This volume is regarded as a foundational reference for students and practitioners of educational psychology during the mid-twentieth century. Its systematic approach to assessment remains a standard point of reference for understanding the historical development of standardized testing and classroom evaluation practices.
