Demonstrate a basic understanding of some of the different methods used for linking test scores in both unidimensional and multidimensional assessments. 3. Define the term "construct shift" and discuss the potential implications for test takers. 4. List some key considerations in the development of multidimensional score scales. Continuing Education Credit Available: 1.25 CE/CPD ABSTRACT: In this advanced-level presentation, Dr. Weeks provides a foundation for understanding multidimensional test score linking and various issues that should be considered in the process, including value-added sub-scores, number of common items, linking design, and choice of linking method. These issues will be discussed in the context of an empirical measure of foundational reading skills and the development of a multidimensional vertical scale.
