Scoring Process
The CCEB takes many steps to ensure the accurate scoring of candidate exams. These steps include the following:
Prior to the Exam
- An Item Review Committee comprised of chiropractors from across Canada meets on an annual basis to review the questions that will be included in the following year’s exams.
- Prior to the exam being printed for distribution, the questions are again reviewed by a chiropractor.
- A professional translator is used to translate the questions for our French exams. The translated questions are then reviewed by a francophone chiropractor.
Following the Exam
- The score forms are marked electronically. The score forms of all unsuccessful candidates are then rescored by hand to ensure accuracy.
- The feedback received from candidates is reviewed. Questions that are identified as a concern are again reviewed by a chiropractor. This may result in the question(s) being removed from scoring or the scoring key being adjusted.
- A committee of chiropractors from across Canada meets for a full day to review the exam and set the passing score.
- The exam questions and scoring are then reviewed and finalized by a psychometrician. Psychometrics deals with the design, administration, and interpretation of quantitative tests.
