Synthetic assessment data may reproduce response distributions while failing to preserve underlying construct structure. Using a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline and a stratified majority Black and Latinx student sample, we evaluated synthetic responses using distributional and psychometric measures. Results highlight the importance of psychometric preservation alongside distributional similarity.
