Formula Scoring, Number-Right Scoring, and Test Taking Strategy
Rowley, Glenn L.; Traub, Ross E.
Journal of Educational Measurement, 14, 1, 15-22, Spr 77
The consequences of formula scoring versus number right scoring are examined in relation to the assumptions commonly made about the behavior of examinees in testing situations. The choice between the two is shown to be dependent upon having reduced error variance or unbiasedness as a goal. (Author/JKS)
