description To establish academic achievement in any public school, teachers have to construct, administer and score tests or examinations. For a valid and reliable assessment of academic achievement, the tests should yield similar and consistent results/grades for comparable groups of students.

This paper focuses on test administration principles and good practices in schools; highlighting principles and good test administration practices and concluding with a summary of the suggestions that, if followed, lead to successful test administration in a any given public school system.
