be economical.

different rates.

The assessment instrument is authentic when it is contextualized,
contains natural language and meaningful, relevant, and interesting topic, and
replicates real world experiences.

learning within classrooms.  Positive washback refers to the desired effects of
a test, while negative washback refers to the negative consequences of a test.

relevant, suitable, effective, and credible. Because assessment is an
important component of the educational process that defines the level
of accomplishments of students, these concepts must be considered.
