Research Abstract

Developing the kernel of latent rank theory which was a test theory to evaluate students abilities on an ordinal scale was almost successful within the research period. In addition, Exametrika which was the software for executing the theory was developed, and the data of the National Center Test for University Admissions was analyzed by using the software.
