Doolittle, Allen E.; Cleary, T. Anne
Journal of Educational Measurement, v24 n2 p157-66 Sum 1987
Eight randomly equivalent samples of high school seniors were each given a unique form of the ACT Assessment Mathematics Usage Test (ACTM). Signed measures of differential item performance (DIP) were obtained for each item in the eight ACTM forms. DIP estimates were analyzed and a significant item category effect was found. (Author/LMO)
