Quality Control Checklist for Processing, Scoring, and Reporting

This checklist is appropriate for use with high-stakes tests as well as most other types of assessments and focuses on the quality control procedures for processing, scoring, and reporting. Some, but not all, quality control procedures for test form development are included in order to complete the steps for Criteria 1. This checklist does not address other quality control processes (e.g., other test form development issues, demographic edits, and security checks) that may also be handled while processing, scoring, and reporting tasks are being conducted.
