How do I cite a test in APA style?
Tests are usually cited in the same style as books.

How do I cite a test review in APA style?
Two main resources for test reviews are Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) and Test Critiques. Test reviews from these sources are formatted similarly to chapters within an edited book. Note that you are citing the review, not the test itself. The test author’s name does not appear in a citation for the review.
