The Impact of Repeated Exposure to Items
TEACHING AND LEARNING IN MEDICINE, 27(4), 404–409.
Contributors: T. O’Neill*, L. Sun*, M. Peabody * & n
author keywords: score inflation; certification examination; Rasch model; item exposure; repeat items
MeSH headings : Clinical Competence; Education, Medical, Graduate; Educational Measurement / standards; Family Practice / education; Female; Humans; Male; Random Allocation; Specialty Boards; Surveys and Questionnaires; United States
TL;DR:
There was a small but detectable increase in the examinees' overall ability estimate, suggesting that examinees may occasionally be using prior exposure to their benefit but general guessing accounts for more of the changes.
