SIXTH REVIEW OF TESTS PUBLISHED IN SPAIN: RESULTS AND IMPACT OF THE MODEL ON LECTURERS AND PUBLISHERS

Abstract

The Questionnaire for the Assessment of Tests (CET; Prieto & Muñiz, 2000) and the revised version of this questionnaire (CETR; Hernández et al., 2016) have been applied systematically since 2010 by the Test Commission of the Spanish Psychological Association. The main goal is to provide practitioners with reliable information on the quality of the tests in order to improve test use. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, to present the results of the sixth review of psychological and educational tests, in which a total of 10 tests have been evaluated. Second, to assess the impact that the application of the CET/CET-R has had over these years on two key agents: test publishers and university lecturers who are responsible for training future test users. Both the results of the sixth review and the results of the survey to assess the impact of the CET/CET-R are satisfactory in general terms. However, some issues where there is room for improvement have been identified.
