The Nelson-Denny Reading Test.

The 1993 Nelson-Denny Reading Test is the latest edition of the test initially published in 1929. This version was developed after a survey of users was completed in 1989. The results, based on a 27% return rate, were used to revise the instrument. However, the overall test format remains generally unchanged. To address the qualities of a test as old as the Nelson-Denny, comparison of the test's characteristics in previous and current versions seems relevant. (MurrayWard, 1998)
