Frequently Asked Questions Equating of Scores on
Multiple Forms
1) Why is Equating of scores on multiple test forms (also known as
multiple test Question papers) needed?
In mass conducted and large scale high-stake tests or examinations spread over a window of several days and several administrations, it has not been practically possible to use a single form of test in a subject, either for entrance/admission or
for recruitment/achievement. On a single day, one may use a single format with reshuffled item numbers and/or reshuffled options of the items or multiple forms.
It is therefore essential that different forms of a test used on different days and/or
different administrations/batches in a day should be first of all ensured that they are equivalent to each other, i.e. designed to be equivalent. In other words, every item in a test to a corresponding item in the other format matching the content topic, the ability cluster tested and the difficulty level.
It is, however, a requirement that a single reference test paper should be created with the same content template that will be used to generate several multiple forms.
2) What is Equating and what are its Results?
Equating is a statistical process that is used to adjust scores on test forms so that
scores on the forms can be used interchangeably. It adjusts for differences in
difficulty among forms that are built to be similar in difficulty and content.
The outcomes after equating are, the reference form test scores remaining as they
are and the test scores on each of the other forms are equated to the reference
form test scores by a method selected for Equating resulting in test scores in all forms measured to the same scale.
3) Are there several methods of Equating?
Yes, there are several methods of Equating and they are as follows:
a) Mean Equating
b) Median Equating
c) Linear Equating (Based on Mean and S.D.)
d) Equipercentile Equating
e) Equating using Item Response Theory
f) Anchor Test Equating
For the given examination, Equipercentile equating method will only be
