The exam consisted of 10 translation items adapted from two entrance exam tests. Two hundred twenty-five, third-year senior high school Taiwanese students and six educators from tertiary and secondary educational institutions served as participants. To fill the research gap, this study documented the process of validating a test of Chinese-to-English sentence translation and modeled raters' scoring propensity defined by harshness or leniency, expert/novice effects on severity, and concomitant effects on item difficulty. Few attempts have been made in extant research to detect and calibrate rater severity in the domain of translation testing. This study applied the many-facet Rasch model to assess learners' translation ability in an English as a foreign language context. Tseng, Wen-Ta Su, Tzi-Ying Nix, John-Michael L
