Peer reviewedWilcox, Rand R.; Wilcox, Karen Thompson – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1988

Under an answer-until-correct scoring procedure, models representing an improvement over simplistic random guessing are proposed. (SLD)

Peer reviewedFrisbie, David A.; Sweeney, Daryl C. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1982

Students found the MTF items easier and preferred MTF over MC; the MTF subtests were more reliable. (Author/GK)
