Abstract This paper analyzes gender differences in student performance in Multiple-Choice Tests (MCT). We report evidence from a field experiment suggesting that, when MCT use a correction for guessing formula to obtain test scores, on average women tend to omit more items, get less correct answers and lower grades than men. We find that the gender difference in average test scores is concentrated at the upper tail of the distribution of scores. In addition, gender differences strongly depend on the framing of the scoring rule.

考试评分和框架的性别偏见效应：对人事选择和大学录取的关注

摘要 本文分析了学生在多项选择题测试（MCT）中的性别差异。我们报告了来自现场实验的证据表明，当 MCT 使用猜测公式的修正来获得考试分数时，平均而言，女性往往比男性遗漏更多的项目，得到更少的正确答案和更低的成绩。我们发现平均考试成绩的性别差异集中在分数分布的上尾。此外，性别差异在很大程度上取决于评分规则的框架。
