Elimination Scoring: An Empirical Evaluation

Collet, Leverne S.

Journal of Educational Measurement, 8, 3, 209-14, F 71

The purpose of this paper was to provide an empirical test of the hypothesis that elimination scores are more reliable and valid than classical corrected-for-guessing scores or weighted-choice scores. The evidence presented supports the hypothesized superiority of elimination scoring. (Author)
