As an alternative to adaptation, tests may also be developed simultaneously in multiple languages. Although the items on such tests could vary substantially, scores from these tests may be used to make the same types of decisions about different groups of examinees. The ability to make such decisions is contingent upon setting performance standards for each exam that allow for comparable interpretations of test results. This article describes a standard setting process used for a multilingual high school literacy assessment constructed under these conditions. This methodology was designed to address the specific challenges presented by this testing program including maintaining equivalent expectations for performance across different student populations. The validity evidence collected to support the methodology and results is discussed along with recommendations for future practice.
