The diehard tests are a battery of statistical test s for measuring the quality of a random number generator . They were developed by George Marsaglia over several years and first published in 1995 on a CD ROM of random numbers. The tests are Birthday spacings Choose random points on a large interval. The spacings between the points should be asymptotically exponential distribution exponentially distributed . The name is based on the birthday paradox . Overlapping permutations Analyze sequences of five consecutive random numbers. The 120 possible orderings should occur with statistically equal probability. Ranks of matrices Select some number of bits from some number of random numbers to form a matrix over 0,1 , then determine the rank linear algebra rank of the matrix. Count the ranks. Monkey tests Treat sequences of some number of bits as words . Count the overlapping words in a stream. The number of words that don t appear should follow a known distribution. The name is based on the infinite monkey theorem . Count the 1s Count the 1 bits in each of either successive or chosen bytes. Convert the counts to letters , and count the occurrences of five letter words . Parking lot test Randomly place unit circles in a 100 x 100 square. If the circle overlaps an existing one, try again. After 12,000 tries, the number of successfully parked circles should follow a certain normal distribution . Minimum distance test Randomly place 8,000 points in a 10,000 x 10,000 square, then find the minimum distance between the pairs. The square of this distance should be Exponential distribution exponentially distributed with a certain mean. Random spheres test Randomly choose 4,000 points in a cube of edge 1,000.

The Criterion Referenced Competency Tests CRCT are a set of tests administered at public schools in the state of Georgia U.S. State Georgia that are designed to test the knowledge of first through eighth graders in reading, English language arts ELA , and mathematics , and third through eighth graders additionally in science and social studies. However, due to budget cuts, former Governor Sonny Perdue approved to cancel the first and second grade CRCT s for the 2010 2011 school year. Georgia law, as amended by the A Education Reform Act of 2000 , requires that all students in grades one through eight take the CRCT in the content areas of reading, English language arts, and mathematics. Students in grades three through eight are also assessed in science and social studies. The CRCT only assesses the content standards outlined in the Georgia Performance Standards GPS , which is the curriculum that Georgia teachers are required to teach. The CRCT was implemented in spring 2000. That year, summative, end of year assessments in reading, English language arts, and mathematics were administered in grades four, six, and eight. Assessments in science and social studies grades three through eight were administered for the first time in spring 2002.

unreferenced date August 2008 Nontreponemal tests refer to a class of syphilis diagnostics that detect infection by indirect markers of infection. Nontreponemal Tests detect biomarker s that are released during cellular damage that occurs from the syphilis spirochete . In contrast treponemal tests look for antibody antibodies that are a direct result of the infection thus, anti treponeme IgG, IgM and to a lesser degree IgA Nontreponemal tests Syphilitic infection leads to the production of nonspecific antibodies that react to cardiolipin . This reaction is the foundation of nontreponemal assays such as the VDRL Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test and Rapid Plasma Reagin RPR test. Both these test are flocculation type tests that use an antigen antibody interaction. The complexes remain suspended in solution and therefore visible due to the lipid based antigen s. All nontreponemal tests measure immunoglobulin s G IgG and M IgM anti lipid antibodies formed by the host in response both to lipoidal material released from damaged host cells early in infection and to lipid from the cell surfaces of the treponeme itself. These nontreponemal tests are widely used for qualitative syphilis screening. However, their usefulness is limited by decreased sensitivity in early primary syphilis and during late syphilis, when a large number of untreated patients will be negative by these methods. With nontreponemal tests, false positive reactions can occur for a large number of reasons, the most common of which is other infections, both viral and bacterial. Additionally these tests may show false negative when the patient s antibody titer is very high due to a hook effect also called a prozone effect . Because of the issues with false positives, confirmation with a second treponemal test that is specific for T. pallidum antibodies is recommended. The tests are relatively simple to perform ... test reactions. DEFAULTSORT Nontreponemal Tests For Syphilis Category Sexually transmitted diseases ... more details

Unreferenced date July 2007 Orphan date July 2007 The Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure MTEL program was initiated by the Massachusetts Department of Education in 1998. It is part of a statewide education reform initiative for educators seeking PreKindergarten to Grade 12 licenses. The MTEL program includes a test of communication and literacy skills as well as tests of subject matter knowledge. The tests are designed to ensure that Massachusetts educators can communicate adequately with students, parents guardians, and other educators and that they are knowledgeable in the subject matter of the license sought. The MTEL program was expanded in November 2004 to include tests for candidates seeking vocational technical and adult basic education licenses. The MTEL is developed, administered, and scored by National Evaluation Systems, Inc. NES , which is now known as the Evaluation Systems group of Pearson Education . Tests are scored on a criterion based system, where examinees must attain a certain score based on standards established by the state. Constructed written & oral components of the tests are scored using a focused holistic scoring model similar to holistic grading . Like regular holistic scoring, responses are viewed for their overall quality, not just for individual mistakes. However this is done according to specific criteria that the state has established i.e., grammar, support, etc . These criteria vary by test and assignment. It is accepted in a few other states as a credential for teaching.
