Setting a Standard on the Pilot National Board Dental Examination.

Kramer, Gene A.; DeMarais, David R.

Journal of Dental Education, v56 n10 p684-88 Oct 1992

Standards and associated failure rates were found similar for both approaches. This and the advantages of the former approach suggest it is an appropriate method. (Author/MSE)
