The purpose of the survey was to obtain information to prepare a profile of state testing programs. One section of the report summarizes the data on the 42 testing programs that were operating in 33 states during the 1972-73 school year. This summary tabulates the findings of eight major areas covering all the questions asked during the interviews, including: purposes of programs; management aspects; population tested; instrumentation; data collection and processing; norms; dissemination; and prospects for the future. Detailed program descriptions for each state are presented in the second section. Finally, the two appendices present an item by item response summary across states and programs and a copy of the interview guide. (MP)
