Abstract
This concluding chapter identifies and explains some elements of item construction that do not conveniently fit into any of the previously discussed categories yet are important, even overarching, elements of constructing good test items. These features include ethical concerns, considerations related to using copyrighted materials and obtaining copyright protection for one’s own items, and concerns for preparing or modifying items for use with people who have handicapping conditions. The chapter concludes with a final remark on the task of constructing meritorious test items.
