Comparative Data
Institutions Administering the MFT in Economics
For information about the data and how to use it, see the Comparative Data section.
The current comparative data pertains to the existing Economics test form (3YMF).
On September 1, a new Economics test form (4EMF) will be available, in both online and pencil/paper format. If you require the previous form to complete your analysis, it will be available for purchase in pencil/paper format only until December 31, 2008.
Scores for the new form will not be available until Spring 2009 to allow time for statistical item analysis and equating. To aide in data collection for this analysis, we are offering an Early Adopter Program to a limited number of institutions. If you are interested, please e-mail an ETS Advisor or call us at 1-800-745-0269.
