The Scoring of Multiple-Choice Tests: A Closer Look.
Abu-Sayf, F. K.
Educational Technology, v19 n6 p5-15 Jun 1979
Compares methods of scoring multiple-choice tests and discusses right-number scoring, guessing, and omitted items. Test instructions and answer changing are addressed, and attempts to weight test items are reviewed. It is concluded that, since innovations in test scoring are not well-established, the number right method is most appropriate. (RAO)
