Reading this text alongside the Technical Manual of the assessment proved very beneficial. Schrank outlines the main components of the assessment tool critiquing the appropriateness and outlining missing data. The text read easily and provided examples throughout. I feel I gained a solid understanding of the assessment's technical quality (appropriateness rather than calculations), its strengths, and weaknesses. The case studies in the end were helpful in bringing it all together - getting a complete picture. I highly recommend reading this prior to using the assessment tool.
