Abstract

The author administered 194 randomly selected multiple-choice questions from the APA Psychiatric Knowledge and Skills Self-Assessment Program to 65 residents via a computerized response apparatus. The system provides immediate feedback on each question and on the test as a whole. Upon completion of the test, a computer printout indicates each resident's percent correct, score, and rank in the group being tested. Analysis of question-by-question group performance data can benefit teaching programs by revealing areas of insufficient instruction.
