Eakin, Richard R.; Long, Clifford A.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 37, 3, 659-63, Aut 77
A scoring technique for true-false tests is presented. The technique, paired item scoring, involves combining two statements and having the student select one of the four resultants possible: true-true, false-true, true-false, and false-false. The combined item is treated as a multiple choice item. (Author/JKS)
