Are MFT-B Results Biased Because of Students Who Do Not Take the Test?
Valero, Magali; Kocher, Claudia
Journal of Education for Business, v89 n4 p171-177 2014
The authors study the characteristics of students who take the Major Field Test in Business (MFT-B) versus those who do not. The authors find that students with higher cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) are more likely to take the test. Additionally, students are more likely to take the test if it is offered late in the semester. Further results indicate that students with higher GPAs tend to score better on the MFT-B, and thus the outcomes profile of a school based on MFT-B results may appear stronger than it actually is if taking the test is not a requirement of the business program.
