The effect of nonignorable missing data in computerized adaptive test on item fit statistics for polytomous item response models
2013
Description
For both linear and adaptive tests, it is crucial to evaluate model-data fit because the goodness-of-fit of item response theory (IRT) models are relevant to any purpose of a test. To date, all item fit statistics are derived based on linear tests and almost all studies have been done in the context of linear testing. These studies are conducted based on assumptions under regular conditions for fixed test forms, such as no missing responses and normal distribution of unidimensional ability for a population.

Achievement and Growth Norms for Course-Specific MAP Growth Tests
This report documents the procedure used to produce the achievement and growth user norms for a series of the course-specific MAP® Growth™ subject tests, including Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, Integrated Math III, and Biology/Life Science. Among these tests, Integrated Math I, Integrated Math II, Integrated Math III, and Biology/Life Science were the first time to have their norms available. The remaining tests, i.e., Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2, had their norms updated including receiving more between-term growth norms by using more recent test events. Procedure for norm sample selection and a model-based approach using the multivariate true score model (Thum & He, 2019) that factors out known imprecision of scores to generate the norms are also provided in detail, along with the snapshots of the achievement and growth norms for each test.
