Dissimilarities in Grade-Equivalent Scores on Different Standardized Tests of Achievement: A Threat to Criterion-Related Validity.
Weiner, Max; Zibrin, Mara
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v39 n4 p923-28 Win 1979
Five standardized tests of reading achievement were administered to community college freshmen. Students took two different tests on consecutive days. Grade-equivalent scores on tests were compared. Differences were found between tests based on the number of students who reached the criterion score of grade-equivalent 11 or 12. (Author/CTM)
