I believe that they have to change their questions a lot more often than they used to, now that they occasionally reveal some questions and answers. The Educational Testing Service has a web site that looks pretty nice, in my 60-second opinion. http://www.ets.org/research/ They do seem to invite communication -- I suggest you e-mail, if you don't find what you are looking for in their 8 research areas, or elsewhere. It seems to me that I found a statistics journal produced by ETS when I was looking up references for scaling, a year or so ago. But I don't remember that for a fact. -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ =================================================================
