Setting Standards for Multiple-Choice Items in Clinical Reasoning.
Maguire, Thomas; And Others
Evaluation and the Health Professions, v15 n4 p434-52 Dec 1992

An example from the Medical Council of Canada's Qualifying Examination for approximately 2,400 examinees demonstrates the procedure's value. (SLD)
