This volume takes a framework for validating tests that was
developed in language testing, and applies it to an admissions test
used for biomedical courses. The framework is used to consider
validity in the BioMedical Admissions Test (BMAT). Each chapter
focuses on a different aspect of validity and also presents
research that has been conducted with the test. By addressing all
of the validity aspects identified as important by language
testers, this volume presents a comprehensive evaluation of BMAT's
validity. The processes of evaluation used in the book also promote
a cross-disciplinary approach to assessment research, by
demonstrating how effectively language testing frameworks can be
used in different educational contexts. The authors of the chapters
include Cambridge Assessment staff and medical education experts,
from a wide range of subject backgrounds. Psychologists,
clinicians, linguists and assessment experts have all contributed
to the volume, making it an example of multidisciplinary
collaboration.
