A Comparison of Several Methods of Assessing Partial Knowledge in Multiple Choice Tests: II. Testing Procedures

Hakstian, A. Ralph; Kansup, Wanlop

Journal of Educational Measurement, 12, 4, 231-9, Win 75

A comparison of reliability and validity was made for three testing procedures: 1) responding conventionally to Verbal Ability and Mathematical Reasoning tests; 2) using a confidence weighting response procedure with the same tests; and 3) using the elimination response method. The experimental testing procedures were not psychometrically superior to conventional testing. (Author/RC)
