Prior to August 2015, the National Board of Medical Examiners' (NBME) clinical science subject examination scores were reported as a scaled score. However, the scaled scores had some undesirable properties that threatened the validity of the inferences that score users were making based on the scores. The NBME changed the score scale to equated percent correct scores to address score validity concerns and to better meet the needs of medical school faculty and students. This paper describes the validity and practical considerations associated with the implementation of equated percent correct scores for the clinical science subject examination program.
2015年8月之前，美国国家医学考试委员会（NBME）的临床科学科目考试成绩以标准分形式报告。然而，标准分存在一些不理想的特性，这对分数使用者基于这些分数所做推断的有效性构成了威胁。为了解决分数有效性问题并更好地满足医学院教师和学生的需求，NBME将分数量表改为等值正确百分比分数。本文描述了与临床科学科目考试项目实施等值正确百分比分数相关的有效性和实际考量。
