A one-sample t test compares the mean score of a sample on a continuous dependent variable to a known value, which is usually the population mean. For example, say that we take a sample of students from the university and compare their average IQ [intelligence quotient] to a known average IQ for the university. If we want to find out whether the sample mean IQ differs from the average university IQ, a one-sample t-test will give us the answer.  1, record 1, English, - one%2Dsample%20t%20test

Numerical scoring system developed by Friedenwald, Hughes and Herrmann for the evaluation of primary irritants using the rabbit's eye(for the toxicologic appraisal of a given compound). Table 6 : Scale of weighted scores for grading the severity of ocular lesions : I. Cornea : A. Opacity... B. Area involved.... Total maximum score=80. II. Iris :... Total possible maximum=10. III. Conjunctivae :... Total maximum=20. The maximum total score(110) is the sum of all scores obtained for the cornea, iris and conjunctivae. NB : A test score may result in a fraction [as shown in the above example 67. 7/110] because of the fact that it represents the average of all the animals in the test group.  3, record 2, English, - irritation%20score

Passing score. If it is appropriate for the context of the test, there will be a passing score. There are no convincing arguments for any one cutoff score; rather, the content, context, and type of student will determine the passing level. It will also depend on your intentions for the test. A mastery test will require a very high pass mark, while an ordinary quiz or classroom test is likely to be less stringent. Sometimes a test may have no passing grade at all, as when its intention is to locate areas of weakness rather than to categorize or grade students.  4, record 3, English, - pass%20mark

There is another development that has recently appeared in a few tests that is important for the future development of test batteries. This is the appearance of absolute scales. An absolute scale is one that covers the entire range of a function, from zero(theoretically) to the full adult range. Zero is often unattainable in psychological scores; so the bottom of a scale is the lowest score for which a reliable score can be obtained. In practice such tests have an extended range from a below-average IQ of a young child to a superior adult IQ. In many areas, such as memory or tapping speed, a zero is obtainable.  2, record 5, English, - absolute%20scale

First, the raw score is determined which is generally the number of questions the candidate answers correctly. After the results are analyzed, a band score table is constructed for the test. The band score table is then applied to the raw score to determine the final score. Typically, a band score covers a range of scores and bands [that] are reported in five point increments. This method is called band scoring. Example : A range of raw scores from 45 to 47 are assigned a band score of 80.

Computing utility values can be done through various computer algorithms, including canned programs(see appendix), with MONotonic ANalysis fo VAriance(MONANOVA) and regression being the most frequently used methods. MONANOVA(Kruskal, 1965) was originally developed through an iterative algorithm to generate estimates of attribute partworths(or utilities of attribute levels) in such a way that the rank order of the partworths’ sum for each attribute combination(or utility score of a test card) correlates as closely as possible to that combination's observed rank order(namely, the respondent's ranking of that card).  1, record 33, English, - MONANOVA

Internal consistency.... Sometimes an adaptation of the contrasted group method is used, extreme groups being selected on the basis of the total test score. The performance of the upper criterion group on each test item is then compared with that of the lower criterion group. Items that fail to show a significantly greater proportion of "passes" in the upper than in the lower criterion group are considered invalid... Another application of the criterion of internal consistency involves the correlation of subtest scores with total score.  1, record 40, English, - internal%20consistency
