Discrete Option Multiple Choice

It goes a long way in solving some of our more difficult problems. Instead of providing options all at once to the test taker, as is usually done, options are randomly presented one at a time.

Why DOMC?

  1. 1It prevents or deters many types of test fraud that are damaging every testing program today.
  2. 2It provides a significantly more accurate and useful test score.
  3. 3It saves money--a lot of it--by reducing test administration and development costs and decreasing the likelihood of financially damaging security incidents.
  4. 4It neutralizes the major arguments against multiple choice questions raised by critics of testing.
  5. 5It helps alleviate the actual unfairness of some of our testing practices.
