English term or phrase: Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing
Although these concerns have arisen within the field, they aptly summarize the key provisions and principles for testing of language-minority students at any educational level established in the current **Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing** developed by the American Psychological Association, the American Educational Research Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Education ( APA, 1985 ).

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Explanation:
In Argentina, the Guidelines: standards for educational and psychological testing, are reviewed in : http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S...

Apparently there's no official translation for this, although it's well known!

Bear in mind that in Psychology a Test is a classic tool, and it's well known with that term, not "prueba"; psychologists use it (the term test) everyday all around the world. And believe me, I've almost finished my degree in Psychology (in Argentina).

disagree  Laurence Cattoire: From a terminology point of view, the fact that psychologists use "test" -an anglicism- is in no way a guarantee that it is the appropriate word. You don't seem to be too rigorous about the proper use of language.This is very unusual... for a translator.

  -> So, go against the entire community of psychologists and tell them so, because Test is a valid translation and the term is used worldwide, not "prueba", I repeat, Test is a tool, and most tests come from english speaking countries, it's standard
