The Effect of Guessing on Item Reliability under Answer-Until-Correct Scoring

Kane, Michael; Moloney, James

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2, 1, 41-9, W 78

The answer-until-correct (AUC) procedure requires that examinees respond to a multi-choice item until they answer it correctly. Using a modified version of Horst's model for examinee behavior, this paper compares the effect of guessing on item reliability for the AUC procedure and the zero-one scoring procedure. (Author/CTM)
