Estimate Benchmark Assessment Cut Scores to Predict State Assessment Performance Levels

• In Event: Electronic Board Session III

Abstract

One important purpose of benchmark assessments is to predict students’ performance levels on the state summative assessments. This study compares three methods (equipercentile linking, LOESS regression, and ROC analysis) to estimate cut scores on benchmark assessments and investigates the impact of correlations and sample sizes on the effectiveness of prediction.
