Raju, Nambury S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982

Frary, Robert B.; Hutchinson, T.P. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982

Aiken, Lewis R.; Williams, Newsom – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
Seven formulas for scoring test items with two options (true-false or multiple choice with only two choices) were investigated. Several conditions, such as varying directions for guessing and whether testees had prior knowledge of the proportions of false items on the test were also investigated. (Author/JKS)
