Four minutes’ time should be allowed for this test. At the end of the
four minutes the examiner should call “Time up” and take the paper.
_Directions for Scoring Mentimeter 10a._
The score in this test is the number of problems correctly solved. No
credit should be given for any problem unless each digit in the answer
is present, correct, and in its right place.
Scores from 0 to 5 indicate Inferior Ability
Scores from 6 to 8 indicate Low Average Ability
Scores from 9 to 11 indicate Average Ability
A score of 12 indicates High Average or Superior Ability.
_Directions for Giving Mentimeter 10b._
The examiner should open the booklet and demonstrate to the candidate,
for ten seconds, with just what nature of test he is to be confronted.
Then, after securing the necessary identifying information, the examiner
should point to the problems on the title page under the word “Add.”
Pointing to the 1 in the first example and then to the 2, he should
write 3 under the line. Pointing to the 4 and then to the 5, in the
second example, he should write 9 under the line. Pointing to the 4 and
then to the 7 in the third example he should write 11 under the line,
and should then pass his pencil and the opened booklet to the candidate
with the instruction, “Go ahead! Add them up!”
The most important point in this test is to make absolutely certain that
exactly thirty seconds (no more and no less) is allowed from the time
the examiner supplies the candidate with a pencil until the time he
calls “Stop!” Unless this time is kept absolutely uniform the results of
the test will be hardly worth considering. Whether the candidate begins
work or not, the time should be calculated from the instant he receives
his pencil and the opened booklet.
_Directions for Scoring Mentimeter 10b._
The score in this test is the number of correct answers obtained in
thirty seconds. Unless an answer is absolutely correct, it should have
no credit. If an answer is only partially finished when time is called,
it should not be credited as being the correct answer unless it is
sufficiently complete in both digits to prove that the right answer had
been obtained.
