Station-Length Requirements for Reliable Performance-Based Examination Scores.

Shatzer, John H.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v68 n3 p224-30 Mar 1993

A study compared the generalizability of 36 medical students' performance scores under systematically varied station times in 2 surgery end-of-clerkship performance-based examinations. Results indicated longer station length decreased generalizability of scores by decreasing variability among students' performances. Testing time was also affected. (Author/MSE)
