The Mental Measurements Yearbooks are the pre-eminent resource for reviews--
including reliability information-- of tests and measures (achievement, behavior
assessment, education, intelligence, personality, vocational, neuropsychological,
and others). These yearbooks represent an extensive collection of test review
information covering English- language tests. They are intended for use by
researchers in education, psychology, psychiatry, and industry for locating,
selecting, and evaluating tests of all kinds. (There are, however, tests
that are NOT included in the MMY.)

Each MMY test entry includes: the test title, the purpose of the test, population (the groups for which the test is intended), the publication date of the test, types of scores produced by the test, administration (is it given to individuals or groups?), forms/parts/levels (the different parts of the test materials), price data (including manual information), special distribution restrictions, any special additions, time (how long the test takes to adminster), the author(s) of the test and the publisher, cross-references to previous edition entries, references to articles/books using/reporting on the test, and one or more reviews.
The entries are arranged by number. Earlier volumes have the tests classified by broad subject, so you will have to look up the title in the index; recent volumes are alphabetical by test title and have a broad classified subject index. Each MMY volume has indexes listing the tests by author/reviewer names, scores, and publishers.
Each MMY does NOT supersede the previous volumes; each edition supplements information from earlier editions and later volumes cross reference to earlier edition entries. Therefore, it is necessary to consult all editions for complete coverage. The MMY indexes are NOT cumulative (they don't list the tests reviewed in other volumes) so you can either

The entry for each test indicates, under 'cross-references', which MMY
presents the most recent listing for it. TIP also includes information similar
to the MMY: purpose, population, date, scores, administration, price data
(dated), time, comments, author, publisher, and references to the test in
the literature, if there are any.
