Peer reviewedBen-Shakhar, Gershon; Sinai, Yakov – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1991
Gender differences in omitting items and guessing on multiple-choice tests were studied in Israel for 302 male and 302 female ninth graders and 150 male and 150 female university applicants. Females tended to omit more items and guess less often than did males. Implications for scoring are discussed. (SLD)
