The "Average System"--A New Technique for Equating Scores on Different Tests Constructed from an Item Bank.

Doron, Rina

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v12 n2 p169-75 1986

This study examines the Average System, an alternate procedure to the Rasch Model, for equating test scores. This technique does not require computers and can be easily employed by classroom teachers. A validation experiment using 23 sets of 10-item arithmetic tests constructed from a 230-item bank is described. (BS)
