Hypothetical psychology test Scoring and marking tests can be a difficult process for teachers. Which type of assessment is best when dealing with younger students? Which assessment is best when scoring and marking older students? What is the best way to evaluate the test or assessment given to the students? This paper will discuss a hypothetical psychology test of five questions given to twenty students, the mean of each question, the mean for the entire test, and an evaluation of the qualitative and quantitative items analysis for the test.
