New Meridian Corporation has developed the "Quality Testing Standards and Criteria for Comparability Claims" (QTS). The goal of the QTS is to provide guidance to states that are interested in including content from the New Meridian item bank and intend to make comparability claims with "other assessments" that include New Meridian content. Note that "other assessments" could mean New Meridian test forms administered in another state, or it could mean the state's previous assessments that include New Meridian assessment content but administered or scored by a different testing vendor going forward. This document is part of a set of materials that together define a system for evaluating the types of comparability claims that can be made by participating states using New Meridian's content. The purpose of this document is to describe the standard processes for the New Meridian operational test forms. The document provides high-level overviews with links or references to additional documents or supporting materials published by New Meridian. Following the structure of the QTS, the information in this document is organized into three areas of a testing program that are relevant to comparability claims: (1) Design: "What is on the test?"; (2) Administration: "How is the test is given?"; and (3) Scoring: "How is test performance determined?" The intended users of this document include states that may be interested in including New Meridian content on their assessments and would like information about the standard processes for the New Meridian forms. The document is also intended to be a companion document to the "New Meridian Comparability Review Guidelines" (ED606679), which is used by independent expert reviewers to evaluate the evidence submitted by states intending to make comparability claims with their assessment that include New Meridian content.
