Use of the Coombs Elimination Procedure in Classroom Tests.

Bradbard, David A.; Green, Samuel B.

Journal of Experimental Education, v54 n2 p68-72 Win 1985-86

The effectiveness of the Coombs elimination procedure was evaluated with 29 college students enrolled in a statistics course. Five multiple-choice tests were employed and scored using the Coombs procedure. Results suggest that the Coombs procedure decreased guessing, and this effect increased over the grading period.
