Outline of Final Research Achievements

Equating, used in TOEFL or TOEIC, makes it possible to compare different set of testing. Test theory studies this field of measuring test score. This study, from the perspective of test theory, had equated different sets of law tests to examine if the validity of the equated scores. Law test usually is administered as a “qualifying” test, but in most cases it is indeed a “competitive” one. This study is a basic study for making law test more “qualifying” test as it is supposed to be.
