2. Validity
Validity is the most fundamental consideration in developing and evaluating tests (Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, 1999). Validity refers to the degree to which theory and cumulative evidence support intended uses of test scores.

Equating is a psychometric/statistical procedure to adjust difficulty across test forms, not the test.
