Sophs Make
Good Showing
Warner, High Scorer
Matthews And Masters Lead In
General Science And Culture
Tests Respectively
Many University of South Carolina
sophomores of last spring made excellent
showings in the general culture
and general science tests administered
in co-operation with the American ,
Council on Education as a part of .
the national survey of liberal educa- i
tion at the sophomore level according |
to our Professor W. C. McCall, chair- |
man of the Personnel bureau. Eleven
University of South Carolina sopho- i
mores made sufficiently high scores
on both the general culture tests and i
the general science tests to place them 1
in the upper quarter of the national )
distribution scores. Twenty others <
achieved scores placing them in the
upper quarter of the national distri- >
bution of scores on the general cul- '
ture tests only, and thirty-two addi- I
tional sophomores won places in the
upper quarter of the\ national distri- 1
bution for the general science tests 1
only. Approximately 150 colleges and
universities participated in the sopho- 1
more test survey. The colleges par- ;
ticipating were sufficient in number '
and types to constitute a representative
sampling of American institutions '
of higher learning.
Special mention goes to three students
who made exceptionally high ^
scores on the tests McCall said. On ]
,the general culture test Mac Joel Matthews
led with a score of 390 points ,
and Rudolph Warner came next with |
a score of 382 points. On tlie general \
science test Elias Walter Masters led <
the list with a score of 129 points.
These scores place the respective stu- 1
dents in the top one per cent of the 1
nation sophomores in respect to the
tests given. In combined showing on 1
two tests Rudolph Warner comes first <
with a total of 440 points.
Some misunderstanding McCall
said, arose on the part of students and
others to sense a great difficulty of
the tests from the point of view of the
traditional concept of "passing" mark.
The natural assumption was that
nearly everyone was doing very poorly
on the tests or that the tests were
quite unfair. There were 803 question
items in the general culture test
but the highest score reported in the
nation was a score of G10 points. .
Scores of 200 points and higher were
found to constitute the upper quarter
of national distribution. The general
science test contained 207 question
items but the highest score reported
for the nation was 195. Scores of 58
and above placed students in the upper
quarter of the national distribution.
Modern tests bear little relation
to traditional examinations and
quizzes. The sophomore tests were
constructed to afford a general survey
of liberal education, to make possible
some response success on the
part of all students and to make impossible
a perfect score on the part of
any. Were the tests short enough
and easy enough to permit perfect
scores, they would be unsatisfactory
for measurement.
Last May many students expressed
a desire to have the test papers returned
to them and to secure a full
report on their standings. Professor
McCall is ready to return the test
papers and to give full reports to all
who will come to the Personnel office.
