Abstract | This study was designed to collect and then to compare various educators' perceptions (N=484) of the effectiveness of selected standardized testing program management practices in their schools. It was found that these educators perceived their schools' performance of testing-related practices to be more effective than the schools' overall performance in meeting other district responsibilities. Testing practices rated highest were use of quality tests and materials, maintenance of pupil records, and use of understandable scores and reports. Testing practices rated lowest were use of test results to evaluate instruction, availability of written policies, and use of publisher instructional guides accompanying achievement batteries. Comparatively, the teachers' ratings of the effectiveness of their schools' testing practices tended to be lower than were the administrators's ratings, and the testing directors' ratings of their testing practices tended to be lower than were the principals' and the supervisors' ratings.
