Abstract
Often a hot topic when educational testing is discussed, high and low stakes are actually connected to the use of test scores rather than the test itself. Focus on ETS R&D asked ETS scientists Michael T. Kane and Richard J. Tannenbaum to explore the issue of stakes in relation to decisions based on test scores.
