Govindarajulu, Z.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v48 n1 p53-60 Spr 1988

Four methods for combining several scores of tests given the same individual are discussed: (1) weighted standardized scores; (2) percentile rank methods; (3) the principal components approach; and (4) the optimal weights method. The optimal weights method is recommended because of its simplicity. (SLD)
