Vertical Scale Implications When Accelerated Students are Not Double Tested

• In Event: Scaling, Linking, and Equating

Abstract

When states have provisions that allow all students to prepare for and take advanced mathematics coursework, eighth grade students are not required to double test. We explore the effect of vertical scale recovery when accelerated eighth grade students test complete an end-of-course assessment instead of the Grade 8 assessment.
