Reading Comprehension Tests for Children: Test Equating and Specific Age-Interval Reports [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Equating is used to directly compare alternate forms of tests. We describe the equating of two alternative forms of a reading comprehension test for Brazilian children (2nd to 5th grade), Form A (n = 427) and Form B (n = 321).

Test equating sleep scales: applying the Leunbach’s model [PDF]
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2019 Background In most cases, the total scores from different instruments assessing the same construct are not directly comparable, but must be equated. In this study we aimed to illustrate a novel test equating methodology applied to sleep functions, a ...

A Review of Test Equating Methods with a Special Focus on IRT-Based Approaches [PDF]
Statistica, 2018 The overall aim of this work is to review test equating methods with a particularly detailed description of item response theory (IRT) equating. Test score equating is used to compare different test scores from different test forms.

A comparative analysis of pre-equating and post-equating in a large-scale assessment, high stakes examination [PDF]
Perspectives in Education, 2016 Statistical procedure used in adjusting test score difficulties on test forms is known as “equating”. Equating makes it possible for various test forms to be used interchangeably. In terms of where the equating method fits in the assessment cycle, there

Can IRT solve the missing data problem in test equating? [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 In this paper test equating is considered as a missing data problem. The unobserved responses of the reference population to the new test must be imputed to specify a new cutscore.

The stability of IRT parameters under several test equating conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionIt is crucial for researchers and test developers to compare results from different test sets (e. g., re-testing, parallel test forms). To ensure comparability, test sets are often linked using anchor items as a common denominator alongside ...
