COTS 2012

COTS 2012 took place in Lawrence, Kansas Wisconsin on May 23-24, 2012.

 In light of media reports of test fraud by teachers in the  Atlanta public school system, and as test administration evolves and new  ways of committing test fraud develop, the Center for Education Testing  and Evaluation (CETE) at the University of Kansas held the first  scholarly conference focused on statistical approaches in identifying  test fraud. 


*The original name for the conference in 2012 was " Conference on Statistical Detection of Potential Test Fraud " before the scope of the conference was expanded in 2014 and name was changed.
