The Effects of Knowledge of Item Arrangement, Gender, and Statistical and Cognitive Item Difficulty on Test Performance.
Lane, David S., Jr.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n4 p865-79 Win 1987
The effects of statistical and cognitive difficulty ordering of test items, gender, and explicit labeling of item type on college students' test performance were assessed. A total of 137 male and 265 female undergraduates were administered two 40-item multiple choice tests. Results indicate significant effects for gender and use of labels, but item ordering effects were inconsistent. (Author/TJH)
