REVIEW:
ETS is a private, nonprofit organization that develops and administers achievement and admissions tests for clients such as The College Board. Tests include the SAT and the PRAXIS. The site has information on general topics such as the organization's structure, how test questions are created (they are defined by the educators or other professionals who use the test scores), and questions on the fairness and
reliability of the tests. The site also has information on each specific test and sample questions from each of the major tests. More information is provided in separate sections for students, parents, educators, researchers and policy makers. Additional sections include news, information on computer-based testing, and a tests & services directory. This is a very informative site, especially for anyone anxious
about upcoming tests or wanting to be prepared.
