Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) AleAssessment

The difference between an observed score and the corresponding true score or proficiency; the standard deviation of an individual's observed scores from repeated administrations of a test or parallel forms of a test, under identical conditions. Because such data cannot generally be collected, the standard error of measurement is usually estimated from group data.
