{Examinations}[30th April 1978]

[Redbook2:117][19780430:1500]{Examinations}[30th April 1978]

Perhaps the acid tests of the validity of any academic examination system are:
(i) Would it be possible for a correctly designed computer or information retrieval system to perform successfully in the test?
(ii) If the results were marked by two recognised specialists in the subject with widely differing opinions within it, would their assessments be likely to differ noticeably?

If the answer to either of these two questions is 'Yes', the examination result or assessment proves very little of value.
