Equivalence of Free-Response and Multiple-Choice Items. Bennett, R. E., Rock, D. A., & Wang, M. Journal of Educational Measurement, 28(1):77--92, Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1991.
Paper doi abstract bibtex This study examined the relationship of multiple-choice and free-response items contained on the College Board's Advanced Placement Computer Science (APCS) examination. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the fit of a two-factor model where each item format marked its own factor. Results showed a single-factor solution to provide the most parsimonious fit in each of two random-half samples. This finding might be accounted for by several mechanisms, including overlap in the specific processes assessed by the multiple-choice and free-response items and the limited opportunity for skill differentiation afforded by the year-long APCS course.
