Equivalent-Groups versus Single-Group Equating Designs for the Accelerated CAT-ASVAB (Computerized Adaptive Test-Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) Project.

Abstract

Computerized adaptive test (CAT) and paper-and-pencil (PP) ASVAB scores were compared and equated under equivalent-groups and counterbalanced, repeated-measures designs. The results were sensitive to the order of presentation of the two versions of the ASVAB. Different equatings emerged from the two designs. Keywords: ACAP (Accelerated CAT-ASVAB Program), Aptitude tests, ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery), CAT (Computerized Adaptive Test), Comparison, Intelligence test, PP (Paper and Pencil Tests), Test methods, Test scores.
