Abstract	This study compares five scoring approaches for a test of clinical reasoning skills. All of the approaches incorporate information about the correct item responses selected and the errors, such as selecting too many responses or selecting a response that is inappropriate and/or harmful to the patient. The approaches are combinations of theoretical framework (classical test theory or item response theory) and number of scores (single or multiple). The implications of these alternatives for score reliability and validity are discussed and the impact on pass-fail decisions is examined. The results support the use of a single score. (Author).
