Mathematics Test Performance: The Effects of Item Type and Calculator Use.

Loyd, Brenda H.

Applied Measurement in Education, v4 n1 p11-22 1990

Four mathematics test-item types that may perform differently when calculators are used were assessed using data from 160 high school students attending a summer enrichment program. The effects of testing with and without calculators on testing time, test reliability, item difficulty, and item discrimination were also assessed. (TJH)
