Thus, the paper is divided into two parts. First, the JCQ 2017\u20102018 regulations are critically evaluated highlighting the areas of need for which greater clarity and more extensive detail is required in these regulations. The second part of the paper discusses the findings of research on teacher competence in test administration, scoring, and reporting. Drawing on evidence from the first stage of this research, McMurray, O'Callaghan, and McVeigh highlight the extensive formative process required to build a high\u2010level skill set required for competent assessment involving the use of high level tests and also the specialist knowledge required to analyse and accurately report assessment findings to make recommendations for students with specific literacy difficulties.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Recommendations are provided both at policy and practice levels regarding the content of courses and the assessment involving the use of high level
