      abstract = {Test equating methods are used with many standardized  tests in education and psychology to ensure that scores  from multiple test forms can be used interchangeably. In  recent years, researchers from the education, psychology,  and statistics communities have contributed to the rapidly  growing statistical and psychometric methodologies used in  test equating. This book provides an introduction to test  equating which both discusses the most frequently used  equating methodologies and covers many of the practical  issues involved. This second edition expands upon the  coverage of the first edition by providing a new chapter on  test scaling and a second on test linking. Test scaling is  the process of developing score scales that are used when  scores on standardized tests are reported. In test linking,  scores from two or more tests are related to one another.  Linking has received much recent attention, due largely to  investigations of linking similarly named tests from  different test publishers or tests constructed for  different purposes. The expanded coverage in the second  edition also includes methodology for using polytomous item  response theory in equating.},
