| Popis: | 2 The validity of these score-based interpretations can be weakened by several test-related phenomena, including breaches to the security of the environment. The impacts of various forms of test security breaches need to be clearly ad- dressed to determine the extent to which a priori knowledge of materials might provide an undue advantage to subgroups of ex- aminees. This evidence also ensures that misinterpretation of scores is minimized on the part of the user. This task is especially crucial with performance-based tests such as standardized patient (SP) ex- aminations, given the typically limited nature of case banks, the long exposure of items/cases, and the high costs associated with developing these types of assessments. 3 |
