A method for evaluating standardized test results includes providing a set of class profiles, each indicative of performance of a respective class for a selected test on a question-by-questions basis. One or more normative profiles are generated from these class profiles, and each normative profile is indicative of expected class performance for the test on a question-by-question basis. Individual ones of the class profiles that deviate excessively from the normative profiles on a question-by-question basis are then identified and used as an indication that the test was improperly administered for the respective class.
