SEVENTH REVIEW OF TESTS PUBLISHED IN SPAIN

Abstract

Every year since 2010, the Test Commission of the Spanish Psychological Association carries out a quality assessment of the tests published in Spain. As in previous editions, the aim of this paper is to describe the method and present the main results of the seventh test review, in which eight recently-published tests by four editorials (CEPE, EOS, Pearson, and TEA) were assessed by 16 experts (i.e. two independent reviewers for each test) through the application of the Test Review Questionnaire-Revised (CET-R). Results allow us to conclude that, in general terms, the quality of the assessed tests is adequate, highlighting as strong points the quality of the adaptations, the evidence on internal consistency, and the quality of standards and interpretation of scores. However, some limitations and suggestions for improvement are also noted.
