Models for a Beginning Theory of Criterion-Referenced Tests.

Roudabush, Glenn E.

In this paper, several models for the psychometric nature of criterion-referenced tests are presented and results derived with implications for test construction, reliability and validity measures, and educational decision making. Both dichotomous and continuous underlying abilities to perform are considered. Illustrative data fitting both cases is also presented. (Author)
