Abstract
This report comprises the recommendations and conclusions of a technical review panel that was convened in 1987 by the Center for Education Statistics to examine three broad issues: the apparent lack of comparability between the findings of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 1984 and 1986 reading assessments (reading anomaly); the accuracy of NAEP trend data, particularly in reading and mathematics, and apparent inconsistencies between NAEP trend data and those from other major tests; and problems and possible solutions in the expansion of NAEP to include a state-by-state assessment.
