    Software

        CTTITEMsas.zip:  Free CTT Item Analysis Macro in SAS, See Lei and Wu 2007

        CTTITEMspss.zip: Free CTT Item Analysis Syntax in SPSS, See Lei and Wu 2007

        CITAS.zip from Assessment Systems:  Free CTT Item Analysis in Excel. Because it is designed for classroom use, CITAS is limited to 50 items and 50 examinees.

                For more powerful classical analysis programs, Assessment Systems recommend Lertap and Iteman.

        Equatenp.zip:  EQUATE (COMPUTER PROGRAM VERSION 2.1) by Frank B. Baker 1993

   Here are more equating programs from the University of Iowa (Center for Advanced Studies in Measurement and Assessment):

  1. PIE (for PC Console, for PC GUI, for MAC OS9, for MAC OS10)
     
    Conducts IRT true and observed scoring equating for dichotomously scored tests.
     
  2. POLYEQUATE (for PC Console, for MAC OS9)

    Conducts IRT true and observed scoring equating for dichotomously and polytomously scored tests.
