"The Big Test" offers a keen assessment of what went wrong and what the future may hold in this area.

Modern Educational Measurement
by W. James Popham
The book aims to help educational leaders, the administrators and the teachers who must grapple with the problems and the methods of assessment in order to improve educational practices for students everywhere. Follows a logical and developmental framework that takes readers from a general overview of the significance of assessment in education, to a discussion of how to evaluate the usefulness of different measurement strategies, to hands-on advice on how to construct accurate and effective assessment instruments, to a perceptive overview of the dos and don'ts of the field.
Classroom Assessment
by James H. McMillan
