Item and test development

MetaMetrics develops written, computer-adaptive and computer-based assessments that are linked with the Lexile Framework or the Quantile Framework. The company worked with Pearson Education to develop PASeries Reading and PASeries Mathematics, collaborating on the development and review of passages and items, design of the scoring and reporting algorithms, and creation of the instructional and curriculum links. Each test that MetaMetrics creates achieves the highest level of curricular alignment possible, while maintaining its security and psychometric integrity.

Test development

MetaMetrics develops assessments that measure constructs of interest, such as reading, writing and mathematics achievement. The company reviews test items for their potential impact on the performance of students with disabilities and eliminates or revises items that could negatively impact student performance. MetaMetrics has developed items for numerous third-party products, including Achieve3000's Kidbiz3000 and Teenbiz3000 and Voyager Expanded Learning's Passport Reading Journeys and VMath Texas Edition.

Item development and review

MetaMetrics develops items aligned with specific specifications and validates curricular matches, content, thinking-skill level, difficulty level and appropriateness for use with diverse student populations, including students with disabilities and those identified as limited English proficient.
