Truth in Testing bill aims to shed light on exams
Lawmakers introduced a Truth in Testing measure to require test makers for college and professional admissions to explain score meanings and usage. It would compel disclosure of questions, student answers, and correct answers on request, a move opposed by the testing industry and Education Commissioner Ambach citing higher costs and standards concerns. Supporters say it would open procedures and position New York as a leader in testing regulation.
