Procedure for obtaining six part scores from answer sheets in one run through the IBM test scoring machine

Abstract

This paper reports two methods of getting 6 different part scores from one side of an answer sheet in a single run through the IBM test scoring machine. The procedure applies to items scored for right responses only. Preliminary data are presented which show the new methods to be faster, without loss of accuracy, than the usual method of getting 3 part scores at one time. A suggestion is made for adjusting the machine to increase speed and accuracy in getting 6 scores at one time. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
