Abstract: This paper begins with a brief overview of literature indicating that, although there have been significant advances in the field's capacity to conduct both formative and summative assessments over the past decades, those advances have not been matched by comparable impact. The bulk of the paper is devoted to a series of examples from the Mathematics Assessment Project that illustrate issues of methods, and the unrealized potential for advances.
