The Jackknife: Its Application to Test Equating,
Abstract
Many tests used by the Armed Services are revised frequently to update content and to reduce compromise. A major psychometric concern during revision is the necessity of deriving scores on the new test which are comparable to those on the old test. This score conversion permits the direct comparison of the scores of current examinees with those of past examinees and permits the retention of past decision score points because of consistency of meaning over time.
