A Fortran IV multiple choice test scoring program for an IBM 370 computer is described that computes minimally acceptable performance levels and compares student scores to these levels. The program accomodates up to 500 items with no more than nine alternatives from a group of examinees numbering less than 10,000. (Author)

The study investigated the feasibility of adapting the coefficient k introduced by Cohen (1960) and elaborated by Swaminathan, Hambleton, and Algina (1974) to an internal consistency estimate for criterion referenced tests in single test administrations. The authors proposed the use of k as an internal consistency estimate by logically dividing…

A two-phase FORTRAN IV program called ITANA-III for an IBM 1130 computer is described that permits computation of psychometric characteristics of multiple-choice examinations including test statistics (phase I) and item statistics (phase II). Consisting of 280 statements, the program can handle up to 200 items with not more than 9 alternatives…

This report documents (1) the problems inherent in multiple choice testing, (2) a solution to the problems, and (3) computer programs required by the solution. Problems of multiple choice testing include scheduling inflexibility, methodological inflexibility, cheating, inefficiencies of space and student interaction time, inefficiencies of…

Confidence scored tests allow subjects to respond to the options on a multiple choice test by assigning probabilities to each of the item options. This paper describes an interactive FORTRAN computer program used for administering, scoring, and interpreting the results of confidence scored tests. (Author/JKS)

Previous knowledge of the difficulty index and the intercorrelations of the items will allow group results to be predicted and manipulated. A compound bionomial probability function of a testscore is established for which a computer program has been written. Three item selections and the appropriate probability distributions are given which give…

The computerized program which is described is designed to score and analyze multiple-choice examinations, providing prompt and detailed testing information. (RAO)

A listing of this program which includes illustrative input and output can be obtained by writing either author, Bureau of Educational Research, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. (Authors)

A computer/tape recorder interface was designed, which permits automatic oral adminstration of "true-false" or "multiple-choice" type tests. This paper describes the hardware and control program software, which were developed to implement the method on a DEC PDP 11 computer. (Author/JKS)

This article is intended for educators who desire an efficient and automated way to produce many different tests covering the same subject matter. It describes a unique computer program that permits the generation of tests and practice materials by computer. (Author)

This program produces multiple-choice examinations from a pool of questions created by the user. The output is a printed copy of the exam and an answer key. The program is written in Applesoft BASIC and requires an Apple II Plus computer with 32K, a disk drive, and a printer. (MP)
