Effect of Item Arrangement, Knowledge of Arrangement, and Test Anxiety on Two Scoring Methods.

Plake, Barbara S.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Education, v49 n4 p214-19 Sum 1981

Number right and elimination scores were analyzed on a college level mathematics exam assembled from pretest data. Anxiety measures were administered along with the experimental forms to undergraduates. Results suggest that neither test scores nor attitudes are influenced by item order knowledge thereof, or anxiety level. (Author/GK)
