When differential anchor form IDF was present, it seems that the four scaling methods (specifically, the scaling constant A and B) will inevitably influenced by the DIF. The scaling constant A and B, should be obtained using the DIF-free items. The DIF items were assumed to be known in the presnet study, which is impossibe in the real test. In the future study, it is interesting to develop the method to detect DIF items in anchor form.
