[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] "Guessing penalty" on the CAT?
For the CAT (California Achievement Test), does anyone know whether there is a "guessing penalty"? For example, if there are four possible answers, one-quarter of a point might be deducted, for each incorrect answer, from the total number of correct answers (in order to discourage guessing). I tried calling someone who ought to know, but she had no idea what I was talking about. I think the "guessing penalty" is more common at higher grade levels, like for the (college-admissions) SAT, but I want to be sure. Thanks, Elsa
