Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice

This article aims to answer the question: when the assumption that examinees may apply themselves fully yet still respond incorrectly is violated, what are the consequences of using the modified model proposed by Lewis and his colleagues? 

Integrating Timing Considerations to Improve Testing Practices

This chapter addresses timing considerations in the context of other types of performance assessments and reports on a previously unpublished experiment examining timing with respect to performance on computer-based case simulations that are used in physician licensure.

Handbook of Automated Scoring

In this chapter we describe the historical background that led to development of the simulations and the subsequent refinement of the construct that occurred as the interface was being developed. We then describe the evolution of the automated scoring procedures from linear regression modeling to rule-based procedures.
