This is an excellent book for teachers. While working on my master’s degree, it was very helpful. It is written by two educators who have lots of expertise in this subject. It is organized very logically and each chapter introduces the theoretical concepts that you will learn with useful exercises at the end of each chapter. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to understand the purposes of assessment, and who want to understand the difference between testing, assessment, and evaluation.

The book itself is great. I have been preparing tests for some time. However, since I start to read and learn from this book, I have come to understand why I have been doing many things without knowing it, and seen what I have been doing wrong, too. Also, it was sent to me in good packaging and very fast.
