Outcomes Assessment: An Examination of the ETS Major Field Test and the Comprehensive Business Exam
Hahn, William; Bowlin, Lyle L.; Welch, Timothy
Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, v37 n2 p259-271 2012
This study is the first to examine student performance differences between the major field test in business (MFTB) and the comprehensive business exam (CBE). Results reveal students performed at a statistically significant 50.8 percentile ranking on the CBE compared to a 38.0 percentile ranking on the MFTB. Additionally, this study finds that students transferring business core courses with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or lower perform at a statistically significant lower level on both the MFTB and the CBE than those transferring business core courses with GPAs higher than 2.5. These findings have important implications for assessment of learning purposes. (Contains 5 tables.)
