The Effect of Proportion of Mixed-Format Scoring: Mixed-Format Achievement Tests
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012 AbstractMixed-format Tests combine Multiple Choice questions test (MC) with Dichotomous Item Response (DS) and Construct Response test (CR) with Polytomous Item Response (PS). Combining two types of items on one assessment enhances both the reliability and validity of the assessment, thereby enhancing the strength of multiple-choice test and Construct ...

EQUATING OF MIXED‐FORMAT TESTS IN LARGE‐SCALE ASSESSMENTS [PDF]
ETS Research Report Series, 2008 ABSTRACTThis study examined variations of the nonequivalent‐groups equating design for mixed‐format tests—tests containing both multiple‐choice (MC) and constructed‐response (CR) items—to determine which design was most effective in producing equivalent scores across the two tests to be equated.
