Globalisation and the need for accountability, performance standards and quality assurance have stimulated and reflected new trends in educational measurement. The increased reliance on testing and measurement as educational tools has also raised issues concerning fairness of their uses and interpretations. Therefore, it is important for educators to have a sound understanding of the process of testing and how it may be used as a tool to enhance learning in students. Tests should reflect the content standards set and performance standards required by an educational institution.
