Evaluate 3 educational tests using Mental Measurements Yearbook (available from the Liberty University Library Research Portal). Although Mental Measurements Yearbookcontains other types of tests, such as personality tests, choose an educational test.

The Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) is an online database that contains information and reviews on tests. Articles about how the tests were developed, used, and the test validity and reliability may also be available. Each review of the test can be considered as a separate source and must be cited properly. To reference the MMY in current APA format, see examples here. You must also include appropriate in-text citations, especially when using direct quotes from the reviews.

The paper must be 3–6 pages (1–2 pages per educational test). Use current APA format and be sure to cite your sources.Writing the paper in list format, as opposed to narrative/paragraph format (except for the Evaluation section) is preferred.

Include explanations for each of the 4 parts described below for each educational test you evaluate.
