Two different populations of examinees took different computerized certification examinations. For purposes of analysis, each population was divided into 3 ability groups (high, medium, and low). Ability measures before and after review were highly correlated, but slightly lower decision confidence was found after review. Pass/fail status was most affected for examinees with estimates close to the pass point. Decisions remained the same for 94% of the examinees. Test precision is only slightly affected by review, and the average information loss can be recovered by the addition of one item.
