A candidate-perception questionnaire was administered to participants in a pilot study, collecting demographic and historical details alongside opinions about the test. Responses from the 3-hour version were compared with responses from the 90-minute version, with samples of roughly 400 and 1,280. Findings show broad acceptance of face validity, while both groups reported insufficient time to complete performance tasks.","ED 373096  \nAUTHOR  \nTITLE  \nPUB DATE  \nNOTE  \nPUB TYPE  \nEDRS PRICE  \nDESCRIPTORS  \nIDENTIFIERS  \nABSTRACT  \nDOCUMENT RESUME  \nKunce,Charles S.;Arbet,Scott E.  \n# Issues of Candidate Perception in a Performance Testfor Lawyers.\n\nApr 94  \n37p.;Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of theNational Council on Measurement in Education(NewOrleans,LA,April 5-7,1994).Reports -Research/Technical(143)--Speeches/Conference Papers(150)  \nMF01/PC02 Plus Postage.  \n*Attitudes;Demography;*Languages;*Lawyers;*Licensing Examinations(Professions);PilotProjects;Questionnaires;*Test Construction;TestFormat;Test Length;Test Validity  \n*Bar Examinations;National Conference of BarExaminers;*Performance Based Evaluation  \nThe National Conference of Bar Examiners commissionedAmerican College Testing,Inc.,to help them in the development andevaluation of a performance test for use in bar admissions decisions.Because it was recognized that candidate perceptions would providevaluable information,a candidate-perception questionnaire wasdeveloped to be administered to candidates in the pilot study of theperformance test.Demographic and historical information wasrequested,as well as information about candidates'perceptions ofthe test.In this study,perceptions of candidates who took the3-hour test version were compared with those of candidates who tookthe 90-minute version,The number of candidates completing  \nquestionnaire items varied,but the sample was approximately 400 forthe 3-hour test and 1,280 for the 90-minute test.Candidates'perceptions about the tests varied widely,but two conclusions areunmistakable:Candidates on the whole accept the face validity of theperformanca test,and candidates taking either test,regardless oflength,felt that they did not have enough time to complete theperformance tasks.Eighteen graphs present study findings.(SLD)  \n*****☆******☆**☆***********☆☆***☆**☆*****☆☆☆*☆*☆☆☆☆*☆*☆**☆**☆☆***☆****Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made  \n六  \n☆from the original document.  \n\n| U.8.DEPAWTMEH7 OF EDUCATIOM  \u003Cbr>\"PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE THIS  \u003Cbr>OMce ot Educatona!Ra56a1ch and improvemenl  \u003Cbr>MATERIAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY  \u003Cbr>EDUCATIONALRESOURCES INFOAMATION  \u003Cbr>CENTER(ERIC)  \u003Cbr>this document haa been leproducou  \u003Cbr>18CBrved trom the person or organizatron  \u003Cbr>originating it  \u003Cbr>口Minor chan0he b0mad to imYow  \u003Cbr>roproduction quality  \u003Cbr>Ponls of  wor oDn100fatdinfh   dc  \u003Cbr>ment do nof nC0s  rly taDromot oftic,l  \u003Cbr>TO THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES  \u003Cbr>OERI positon or polc  \u003Cbr>INFORMATICN CENTER (ERICL'  \u003Cbr>ED 373 069  \u003Cbr>Issues of Candidate Perception  \u003Cbr>in a  \u003Cbr>Performance Test for Lawyers  \u003Cbr>Charles S.Kunce  \u003Cbr>Scott E.Arbet  \u003Cbr>American College Testing  \u003Cbr>April 1994  \u003Cbr>Paper presented at the annual meeting of the National Council on  \u003Cbr>Measurement in Education,New Orleans,in Symposium P3,Performance  \u003Cbr>Assessment:Evaluating Competing Perspectives on Use for High Stakes  \u003Cbr>Testing.  \u003Cbr>BEST COPY AVAILABLE  \u003Cbr>ScoTT E.ARBET  \u003Cbr>CHfARLEs S.

Baradmissions decisions.Early in the planning of the PT,the NCBE and ACTrecognized that candidate perceptions could provide valuable information in thedevelopment of the program.Therefore it was determined that a questionnaire wouldbe administered to ea h candidate in the pilot study immediately upon completion ofthe PT.The questionnaires were developed by ACT in consultation with NCBE,andwere administered by each jurisdiction's administrative staff.ACT tabulated andanalyzed the data.  \nThe items in the questionnaire were designed to gather meaningful demographic andhistorical information about each candidate plus specific opinions about variousaspects of the PT.It was hoped that the analysis would provide useful informationfor improving the examinations,as well as
