Data Processing Procedures To Improve Classroom Testing

To what extent can the use of commonly available data processing equipment improve practices in classroom testing? A partial answer to this question was given in procedures developed in an experiment conducted in a college course in tests and measurements at North Dakota State University. This experiment was supported by the Cooperative Research Branch, U. S. Office of Education.~ There were two purposes to the experiment: one was to determine the effect of frequent testing on learning; the other was to demonstrate how the use of data processing methods may facilitate class-
