Peer reviewedHughes, Garry L.; Prien, Erich P. – Personnel Psychology, 1986
Investigated psychometric properties of three methods of scoring a Mixed Standard Scale performance evaluation: a patterned procedure, simple nonpatterned scoring procedure and procedure assigning differential weights to statements on the basis of scale values provided by subject matter experts. Found no differences in the score distribution…

Peer reviewedHsu, Louis M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
Though the Paired-Item-Score (Eakin and Long) (EJ 174 780) method of scoring true-false tests has certain advantages over the traditional scoring methods (percentage right and right minus wrong), these advantages are attained at the cost of a larger risk of misranking the examinees. (Author/BW)

Peer reviewedFrary, Robert B. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1989
Multiple-choice response and scoring methods that attempt to determine an examinee's degree of knowledge about each item in order to produce a total test score are reviewed. There is apparently little advantage to such schemes; however, they may have secondary benefits such as providing feedback to enhance learning. (SLD)

Direct linkKim, Dong-In; Brennan, Robert; Kolen, Michael – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2005
Four equating methods (3PL true score equating, 3PL observed score equating, beta 4 true score equating, and beta 4 observed score equating) were compared using four equating criteria: first-order equity (FOE), second-order equity (SOE), conditional-mean-squared-error (CMSE) difference, and the equi-percentile equating property. True score…

Koplyay, Janos B.; And Others – 1972
The relationship between true ability (operationally defined as the number of items for which the examinee actually knew the correct answer) and the effects of guessing upon observed test variance was investigated. Three basic hypotheses were treated mathematically: there is no functional relationship between true ability and guessing success;…

Livingston, Samuel A.; Kastrinos, William – 1982
Leo Nedelsky developed a method for determining absolute grading standards for multiple choice tests. His method required a group of judges to examine each test question and eliminate those responses which the lowest D- student should be able to reject as incorrect. The correct answer probabilities remaining were used in computing an expected test…

Peer reviewedFeuerman, Martin; Weiss, Harvey – Management Science, 1973
A model is presented for test construction and scoring that utilizes the knapsack model of mathematical programing. The method applies to examinations of the type in which a choice exists in the number of questions the examinee is required to answer. The method has been utilized with respect to a mathematics examination, and computer-generated…
