DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESERVE OFFICER APTITUDE TEST FORMS 1 AND 2.
Abstract
This report describes the development of two parallel forms of the Reserve Officer Aptitude Test (ROAT Forms 1 and 2) to replace the Reserve Officer Candidate Selection Test (ROCST Forms 3 and 4) and Contract Student Selection Test (CSST Forms 3 and 4) currently used in the selection applications for the ROC and NROTC Contract Programs, respectively. The method used in developing norms and the results of correlational analysis ensure that ROAT Forms 1 and 2 are not only satisfactorily reliable and valid for predicting success in the ROC Program, but sufficiently equivalent in these and other essentials to warrant their operational use interchangeably, in place of ROCST Forms 3 and 4, in the selection of applicants for the ROC Program. In view of this and the similarity in the general ability and educational levels of NROTC Contract applicants to ROC applicants, ROAT Forms 1 and 2 are suitable for operational use, in place of CSST Forms 3 and 4, in the selection of applicants for the NROTC Contract Program.
