It explains that an achievement test measures learned content, while intelligence and aptitude tests target broader ability or predictive performance depending on context. Guidance covers selecting tests for educational evaluation, grading outcomes, predicting success across subjects, early versus later school levels, and using multi-score employment tests for employee
