I am developing a pre-post-test for my completely online course. I had taken a psychometric course from Dr. Sivo at a university. I need to develop a blueprint and I was floundering. While he used another book in class, he steered me to this one. His is edition 5, mine is edition 6 and there is an edition 7out. I was disappointed to see in the 6th edition they changed the formatting of the presentation from edition 5. I liked the other format, but the one they used did the job of explaining a summative assessment blueprint They used the revised Bloom's Taxonomy for their example which to me is very good. I found Dr. Sivo's recommendation to be right on the mark for the topic. For those who also are looking for a specific topic, the index is wonderfully detailed. The information I was looking for was everything I needed to know and very clear and precise. I gave it only three stars because I used only 7 pages; I can't really speak to the rest of the book and I don't want to lead anyone astray.

The shipping for this item was pretty fast. The book is in great condition and was fairly priced. The description did not tell me that it was a hardcover book, but that was a positive surprise for me!

I ordered this book for use in my doctorate program. This is one of the best books in my library regarding test item development and understanding the issues behind testing.

For a used book the product was in great shape. The book had very minor markings on it or in general anything wrong with it compared to brand new. Great service with very quick shipment. It only took it a couple of days to arrive. Highly recommended seller.

Uggg... A need for the degree.... oh well. The good news is that I got it quickly and for a goood price and it will be on sale again in a few weeks.... wanna buy it? :0
