Peer reviewedDyck, Walter; Plancke-Schuyten, Gilberte – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1976
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…

Download full textLongford, Nicholas T. – 1994
This study is a critical evaluation of the roles for coding and scoring of missing responses to multiple-choice items in educational tests. The focus is on tests in which the test-takers have little or no motivation; in such tests omitting and not reaching (as classified by the currently adopted operational rules) is quite frequent. Data from the…

Pascale, Pietro J. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1974
This study investigates the variables moderating the net gains as a result of changing initial answers to determine under what circumstances a strategy of changing initial answers is likely to produce increases in total test performance. (Author)
