Reviews
From the reviews: "Given the perennial debates about academic standards and grade inflation, it is my view that tools such as those described in this book should be adopted much more widely by the academic community than they are at present. This book provides an excellent overview, and I strongly recommend it." Short Book Reviews of the ISI, April 2005 "I highly recommend this book to everybody who has any interest in equating and linking, be they a student, practitioner, or researcher." Psychometrika, 2006 From the reviews of the second edition: "This is an extended edition of the book a? . It provides an introduction to test equating that both discusses frequently used equating methodologies and covers many of practical issues involved. a? Each chapter contains a number of exercises. a? It can be used as a textbook for advanced graduate students, entry-level professionals and persons preparing to conduct equating, scaling or linking at the first time. For experienced professionals the book will certainly provide information on recent progress in the field and also a long list of useful references." (Marie Hu?!kova, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1059 (10), 2005) "Equating is a statistical tool which adjusts for differences between tests which are intended to be similar in difficulty and content. This book describes such tools. a? This second edition a? has new chapters on test scaling and on test linking. a? This book provides an excellent overview, and I strongly recommend it." (D.J. Hand, Short Book Reviews, Vol. 25 (1), 2005)
