Evaluation of Score Interpretive Information from the Perspective of Failed and Passed Test-Takers.
Shannon, Gregory A.
Candidates who had taken examinations for certification required by the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS) were surveyed to acquire feedback about the effectiveness of score interpretive information given to test takers. Those sampled included 488 passers and 389 failers of the Inventory Management (IM) examination and 457 passers and 419 failers of the Capacity Management (CM) examination given as part of the APICS testing program. The 416 IM and 479 CM candidates who completed and returned their questionnaires comprised the analysis sample. The clarity and usefulness of the score interpretive booklet were judged adequate by the candidates, although failed candidates gave less favorable evaluations than did passed candidates. Candidates deficient in one or more diagnostic content areas were very successful at correctly identifying these as the content areas requiring their concentrated study. Appendices contain content descriptions of the tests and the score interpretation questionnaire. Twelve tables give information about the test takers. (SLD)
