This study compared the estimates of reliability made using one, two, three, four, five, and unlimited consecutive failures as ceiling rules in scoring a mathematics achievement test which is part of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skill (ITBS), Form 8. There were 700 students randomly selected from a population (N=2640) of students enrolled in the eight grades in a large urban school district in the southwestern United States. These 700 students were randomly divided into seven subgroups so that each subgroup had 100 students. The responses of all those students to three subtests of the mathematics achievement battery, which included mathematical concepts (44 items), problem solving (32 items), and computation (45 items), were analyzed to obtain the item difficulties and a total score for each student. The items in each subtest then were rearranged based on the item difficulties from the highest to the lowest value. In each subgroup, the method using one, two, three, four, five, and unlimited consecutive failures as the ceiling rules were applied to score the individual responses. The total score for each individual was the sum of the correct responses prior to the point described by the ceiling rule. The correct responses after the ceiling …

The note reads, "Fred, I appreciate the article and I appreciate all you did for me over the years. I have used a lot of your methods in coaching over the years. You were the first coach to tell me to get my butt after it instead of acting like I had it made. I was to selfish and spoiled when I came out of high school. I wish you could have coached me and the group I grew up with in high school. We never had anyone push us. I have tried to coach like I wish a high school coach would have done me - it is not always popular, but it is best for the athletes. God Bless, G. A. Moore."
