Validity of CTBS from an Analysis of Speededness and Item Response Patterns.

Nagy, G. Philip

Canadian Journal of Education, v11 n4 p536-56 Fall 1986

The validity of the Canadian Tests of Basic Skills is examined from the perspective that several of its subtests are highly speeded. Results show that there is very little relationship between the number of items attempted and the number correct and suggest that guessing is involved when more items are attempted. (Author/JAZ)
