Stone, Gregory Ethan; Lunz, Mary E.

Applied Measurement in Education, v7 n3 p211-22 1994

Effects of reviewing items and altering responses on examinee ability estimates, test precision, test information, decision confidence, and pass/fail status were studied for 376 examinees taking 2 certification tests. Test precision is only slightly affected by review, and average information loss can be recovered by addition of one item. (SLD)
