General Method • 80 Multiple Choice Qs covering all business topics • Administered to 1,939 test takers on 7 CSU campuses during the 2009-2010 Academic Year • Questions come from a pool of questions developed across the CSU system • Analysis in 2007 allowed for the identification of 22 items of questionable validity. • Results in years since 2007 are reported both “Unadjusted” (including the 22 items thus allowing for comparisons to previous years’ results) and “Adjusted” (omitting the 22 items thus providing for a more valid test. • Efforts in Fall 2009 replaced some questions in Finance & Statistics • Efforts underway in 2010 to completely overhaul the exam producing a new and improved, more valid and comprehensive test.
