Kupermintz, Haggai; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, v32 n3 p525-54 Fall 1995
This study demonstrates that the validity and usefulness of mathematics achievement tests can be improved by defining psychologically meaningful subscores that yield differential relations with student, teacher, and school variables. The eighth- and tenth-grade mathematics tests from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) were used. (SLD)
