Review:

Wrightslaw: All About Tests and Assessments is a wonderful balance among brevity, thoroughness, and clarity. Chapter 3, Making Sense of Your Child's Tests Scores is an excellent chapter. Clear, concise, thorough. Dr. Melissa Farrall carefully and clearly explained the Bell Curve and told us how the standard deviations correspond to percentile ranks. Chapter 4, Intellectual Evaluations and IQ Testing, was a genuine pleasure to read. Such well-written material on a subject that is seldom written about very well. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 are superb. I cannot wait for the whole book.

--John O. Willis, Ed.D., SAIF, Senior Lecturer in Education, Rivier University; Assessment Specialist, Regional Services and Education Center, Amherst, New Hampshire

An excellent job, the text is extremely informative and well-organized. The Q and A format is very well done, easy-to-read, and informative. This is an excellent reference point for a parent or advocate who is either considering a specific test, researching an appropriate test, or evaluating the school recommendation for specific tests.

--William B. Reichhardt, Esq.
