The Programme for International Assessment (PISA) is an important cross-national study of 15-year olds academic achievement. Although it has traditionally been conducted using paper-and-pencil tests, the vast majority of countries will use computer-based assessment from 2015. In this paper, we consider how cross-country comparisons of children's…

Talento-Miller, Eileen; Guo, Fanmin; Han, Kyung T. – International Journal of Testing, 2013
When power tests include a time limit, it is important to assess the possibility of speededness for examinees.

When considering the needs of a global audience, research regarding different native language speakers is…
