Specifically, you commented "They were not developed that way, constructed that way, and they are not structured that way." I understand your comment in terms of the GED, but I'm curious why you say this about the TABE Reading test. Are you saying that the TABE developers had no *intention* of measuring reading, or that they failed in the attempt? Amy Amy R.
