ABSTRACT

The 35 tests in this bibliography assess individual'sknowledge regarding geography. Many of the tests are social sciencetests which are included because one their subtests measuresgeographical knowledge. Tests which assess study skills, such as mapor graph reading, are not included in this bibliography. Although allage groups are represented, grades 7 through 10 are particularlyheavily represented. Each test citation may include the followingdata elements: AN (a six-digit identification number assigned by theTest Collection); TI (name of the instrument); DT (components withinthe overall test that assess particular skills or factors); AU(personal or institutional author); YR (year in which the test waspublished or copyrighted); AV (test publisher or distributor); GL(list of grades for which the test is suitable); TG (list of ages forwhich the test is suitable); and AB (a description of the test andits purpose).

AB ABSTRACT: The DANTES program is a series of secure testsadministered by postsecondary institutions to grant credit byexamination for education gained outside the classroom. Examinationsmay be worth from two to six credit hours in a baccalaureate program,baccalaureate upper division program, or a technical program. A

minimum score for credit has been established by the American Councilon Education. Individual institutions administer the examinations,as well as set the fees and schedules. These instruments complementthe College Board's College Level Examination Program (CLEP) withseveral instruments in applied technology. They were originallydeveloped for military personnel. Major areas of assessment includemathematics, social science, physical science, business, foreignlanguage, and applied technology. For each test a fact sheetcontaining the curriculum specifications of the course, a list oftexts on which the test is based, and statistical information, isavailable. Qualified administrators and faculty may borrow sampletests fc, a period of thirty days.
