Body
From:

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has made a number of interesting NAEP Validity Studies (NVS) Panel reports available online. The reports, released May 19-21, are included in the complete list of NCES NAEP working papers at:
http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=031#014
Specific titles of these recently released papers are below.

These reports, some commissioned by the NVS Panel as early as 1997, were written by members of the Panel to report on studies conducted to identify and develop technically sound techniques for use in NAEP assessments. The Panel, whose membership includes nationally recognized psychometricians and experts in NAEP subject areas, advises NCES on the research agenda for maintaining and developing the high technical quality of NAEP assessments.

Discussions between the Panel and NCES have resulted in a rich collection of reports, which can be easily downloaded for free:
