Parallel Forms

Parallel Forms are differing versions of tests or assessments that contain the same information, only in different order. These are used to check test reliability and as a means of curtailing possible cheating through a potential test takers attempts to study, practice or memorize the answers. A parallel form can also be used to verify a test taker’s mastery of the test subject.
