Abstract
An estimate of examinees’ true knowledge in English vocabulary was obtained using a multiple-choice test asking them to mark the degree of confidence in each answer they made. A number of formula scores were checked against this estimate. The results suggest that the conventional scoring formula (S = R - W ) was found to be in closest agreement with the obtained estimate, white the reliability of the number-right scores was highest.Keywords
