The National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) is a professional organization for individuals involved in assessment, evaluation, testing, and other aspects of educational measurement. Members are involved in the construction and use of standardized tests and performance-based assessment, assessment program design and implementation, and program evaluation.

NCME is incorporated exclusively for scientific, educational, literary, and charitable purposes. These include: (1) the encouragement of scholarly efforts to advance the science of measurement and its applications in education and (2) the dissemination of knowledge about the theory, techniques, and instrumentation available for measurement; procedures appropriate to the interpretation and use of such techniques and instruments; and applications of educational measurement in individual and group contexts.

NCME members include university faculty; test developers; state and federal testing and research directors; professional evaluators; testing specialists in business, industry, education, community programs, and other professions; licensure, certification, and credentialing professionals; graduate students from educational, psychological, and other measurement programs; and others involved in testing issues and practices.
