Peer reviewedWilson, Mark; Wang, Wen-chung – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1995
Data from the California Learning Assessment System mathematics assessment were used to examine issues that arise when scores from different assessment modes are combined. Multiple-choice, open-ended, and investigation items were combined in a test across three test forms. Results illustrate the difficulties faced in evaluating combined…
