Q. How do I find information about standardized tests at Alkek Library?

Standardized tests can be difficult to locate, partly because they are often proprietary and require a purchase to view. The library does not own many of these tests but if you know the name or acronym you can search for it in the library catalog.

For information about many tests, but not the full text, you can try searching a database called the Mental Measurements Yearbook. Mental Measurements Yearbook indexes over 2000 standardized tests complete with references and test reviews. Also included in the database, Tests in Print (TIP) serves as a comprehensive bibliography to all known commercially available tests that are currently in print in the English language.

A collection of Test Kits are available the on 3rd floor of the Alkek Library. Some Testing Kit items are restricted and maintained as a Secured Collection. Alkek Library also has a Testing Collection on the 3rd floor. The collection offers titles that offer unpublished tests and measurements.
