A Note on the Length and Passing Score of a Mastery Test

Rand R. Wilcox

Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1976, vol. 1, issue 4, 359-364

Abstract: Using an indifference zone formulation, Fhanér has described a ranking and selection procedure for determining the appropriate length of a mastery test. The purpose of this note is to relate Fhanér’s solution to one given by Millman, to give a criterion for the choice of a passing score, and to describe a search routine which will always yield the appropriate test length and implied passing score.
