Abstract	The paper argues that contemporary test validity theory places the consequences of testing on the lives of all college applicants at the back of the test validation argument. It introduces the notion of test efficacy as a process to gather evidence on claims on consequences of testing on all college applicants that can be traced back to validity. The paper proposes a test efficacy framework to evaluate test efficacy claims on the impact of admission examinations on all college applicants (not just those attaining the admission standard). (As Provided).
