The Technical & Interpretive Manual (provided digitally) gives detailed information about KTEA-3 test development,111111111 standardization, and the test’s psychometric properties. It recommends an interpretive approach for analyzing test results, including error analysis. Norms tables are also included in the Technical & Interpretive Manual for examiners that prefer hand scoring (rather than using Q-global, the publisher’s digital scoring and reporting platform).
