Equivalency and Linkage of Educational Tests: Interim Report
In the wake of last year's debate over voluntary national educational testing, Congress requested (PL 105-78) a series of National Research Council reports related to the testing of elementary and high school students. This first interim report entitled, Equivalency and Linkage of Educational Tests: Interim Report, examines whether it is technically feasible to link the results of commercial and state tests to a common scale that would allow the comparison of individual scores from different tests, and individual scores against national and international benchmarks.
Briefings on this report for Members of Congress and/or congressional staff were held on June 10-11, 1998. The report was publicly released on June 12, 1998 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
Further briefings for Congress were held on July 14, 16, & 17, 1998.
