 Awful textbook
This textbook has been assigned for a class I am taking on Psychological Tests and Measurements. The writing style is rambling and disorganized, which is forgivable, however, within a single chapter (Chapter 2: Norms and Basic Statistics for Testing) I have come across several mathematical errors in the examples. This makes it nearly impossible to follow. If I hadn't already taken a few statistics courses, I don't think I would be able to decode what the authors are trying to teach. There are also errors in the informational charts in Appendix 1, which are necessary for my homework assignments. I realize that most people don't have any say in the textbooks they use, but if you have any choice in the matter I strongly urge you NOT to buy this book.
