Cross-National Standards: A Dutch-Swedish Collaborative Effort in National Standardized Testing

• The study investigated the possibility of using data gathered on tests of reading comprehension of English as a foreign language from a sample of Swedish students, to predict item and test characteristics if the tests were to be used in the Netherlands. Results from the data analyses, based both on classical and item response theory, and involving students from both the Swedish and Dutch educational systems, suggest that predictions on item and test quality hold across the two national groups.
