A Study of Hypotheses Basic to the Use of Rights and Formula Scores.

Angoff, William H.; Schrader, William B.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v21 n1 p1-17 Spr 1984

The reported data provide a basis for evaluating the formula-scoring versus rights-scoring issue and for assessing the effects of directions on the reliability and parallelism of scores for sophisticated examinees taking professionally developed tests. Results support the invariance hypothesis rather than the differential effects hypothesis. (Author/PN)
