Feuerman, Martin; Weiss, Harvey
Management Science, 19, 8, 961-966, Apr 73
A model is presented for test construction and scoring that utilizes the knapsack model of mathematical programing. The method applies to examinations of the type in which a choice exists in the number of questions the examinee is required to answer. The method has been utilized with respect to a mathematics examination, and computer-generated results of this test are provided. (Author)
