Reliability of Pass and Fail Decisions on Tests Employing Cut Scores
A Brief Report on How Impossible Scores Affect Smoothing and Equating
Equating under the external anchor design is frequently conducted using scaled scores on the anchor test. However, scaled scores often lead to the unique problem of creating zero frequencies in the score distribution because there may not always be a one-to-one correspondence between raw and scaled scores. For example, raw scores of 17 and 18 may correspond to scaled scores of 150 and 153, thereby creating zero frequencies for scaled scores of 15…
Reporting Diagnostic Scores in Educational Testing
Diagnostic scores are of increasing interest in educational testing due to their potential remedial and instructional benefit. Naturally, the number of educational tests that report diagnostic scores is on the rise, as are the number of research publications on such scores. This article provides a critical evaluation of diagnostic score reporting in educational testing. The existing methods for diagnostic score reporting are discussed. A recent m…
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Two-Stage Testing on English and French Versions of a Science Achievement Test
The current study evaluated the effectiveness of two-stage testing on English and French versions of a science achievement test administered to a national sample in Canada in 1996 and 1999. The tests were administered and scored with the implicit assumption that the two language forms were equivalent. Analysis of the first-stage test revealed that 3 out of 12 items displayed differential item functioning (DIF) in both administrations. However, su…
