This monograph contains one-page profiles for 49 language usage tests for the assessment of writing. These tests are indirect measures and evaluate students ability to recognize standard English usage. The profiles are arranged alphabetically by test name. The profiles contain the following elements: (1) name of the test, (2) date of publication; (3) publisher's name and address; (4) administration time; (5) grade level; (6) trait(s) measured; (7) writing sample; (8) evidence of reliability; (9) suggested uses; (10) evidence of validity for intended usage; and (11) special conditions of availability. Three indexes follow the profiles: (1) tests by publisher; (2) tests by grade level; and (3) tests with writing samples. The profiles are designed to facilitate a general screening of available test options. Before making any final test selection decision, additional informatiohn should be obtained from test publishers, and factors concerning test reliability, test validity and test logistics should be evaluated.
