Total Test Performance. With respect to total test performance, the test results
were quite consistent from administration to administration as reflected in Table III.
The 2-89 administration seems to be a little easier for both the BM-0110 and EM-
4613 tests although the differences are small. The test reliabilities also remained
reasonably consistent across test administrations.

A Z-test was applied to the mean test scores between paired comparisons, i.e., l-89
with 2-89, etc., and all results were nonsignificant at the .OS level. In this respect, we
were unable to reject the null hypothesis for all comparisons. An ANOVA was also
calculated across each of the three administrations and the results were not
significant at the .05 level for either the BM-0110 (F[2,359] = -1.183) or EM-4613
(F[2,359] = .028).
Table IV below, presents another way of comparing the overall test results as the
passing rates by paygrade are presented for each administration. The passing rates
are reasonably consistent across test administrations with somewhat higher
percentages passing for the 2-89 test. These results are not inconsistent with the
test results from other tests in the program where some fluctuations occur but the
passing rates remain fairly consistent for each paygrade.
