Abstract
In addition, yearly monitoring analyses are performed that provide empirical evidence for scoring stability and test fairness. Comparisons of the correlations between(a) the Verbal/Quantitative and Analytical Writing scores and (b) performance of total, regional, and race/ethnicity groups show the continuity of the scale for the previous and the revised version of the Analytical Writing measure.
