The CRAAP Test is a list of questions to help you evaluate the information you find. Different criteria will be more or less important depending on your situation or need.

Regardless of where you are getting your information, you need to be aware of a few simple attributes about whatever information you are using.

Currency: timeliness of the information.

Relevance: importance of the information for your need.

Authority: source of the information.
