AMERICAN BOARD OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY-HEAD AND NECK SURGERY 2020 OTOLARYNGOLOGY TRAINING EXAMINIATION

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SCORE REPORT

THE TEST

Residents and their program directors use the Otolaryngology Training Exam (OTE) to establish a baseline of specialty knowledge at the beginning of training, to monitor changes in that knowledge over time as the resident's progress in training, and to compare their knowledge against the national norm of other residents at the same level of training. It is inappropriate for program directors to use this measure of resident performance as the sole form of assessment when evaluating residents for advancement. Rather, it is appropriate for program directors to use the aggregate performance of their residents when evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of their educational program.

The examination you took consisted of 300 multiple choice questions that evaluated recall of factual knowledge, data gathering and interpretation skills, and problem- solving abilities. One hundred of the questions were field test items, which are newly written questions that were placed on the exam to see if they perform well enough to be included "to count" in subsequent years. Eight non-field test items were deleted based on the psychometric analyses.

Test items are assigned to subtest areas based on the question content and forms the basis for calculating your performance in each of these areas: Allergy, Fundamentals, Head and Neck, Laryngology, Otology, Pediatrics, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive, Rhinology, and Sleep.

TRAINING GROUPS

In order to refine the analysis and assist your interpretation of your performance, U.S. test takers are divided into four training groups based on when they will complete their residency. The groups for this exam are those U.S. residents who will complete their residency in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

DEFINITIONS

Scale score is a transformation of your raw score. Scale scores should NOT be used to compare year-to-year performance, as the data are rescaled each year. For example, a 5.50 from the 2019 training examination does NOT represent the same level of proficiency as a 5.50 from the 2020 training examination.

Percent correct is simply the number of items correct divided by the total number of items.

N represents the number of residents in the group reported.

Mean is the arithmetic average of the scale scores or percent correct in the specified group.

Std. Deviation is a measure of scale score or percent correct variability; the greater the value, the more variable the group’s scale scores or percent correct.

Minimum is the lowest observed scale score or percent correct for the specified group.

Maximum is the highest observed scale score or percent correct for the specified group.

Skewness is a measure of the degree of asymmetry of a distribution. If the left tail is more pronounced than the right tail, the distribution is said to have negative skewness. If the reverse is true, it has positive skewness. If the two are equal, it has zero skewness.

Stanine stands for 'standard score of nine categories' (Cronbach, 1970). Stanine is a method of scaling test scores on a 9-point scale with a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 2. The scores range from 1 (lowest performing group) to 9 (highest performing group). Each stanine has a width of .5 standard deviations, except for the 1st and 9th stanines. A stanine is calculated from the distribution of resident scale scores for each group as well as for all test takers. In a normal distribution the table below provides the corresponding percentage of the scale score distribution represented by each stanine. For example, if your stanine is 6 that would indicate you outperformed at least 60% of the comparison (norm) group of test takers if the data are normally distributed. Alternatively, the stanine of 6 would also mean you are between the 60th and 77th percentile in the comparison group. As residents progress in their training, they answer more questions correctly since they have had more education, accumulated knowledge, and experience. Therefore, it takes more correct answers (a higher scale score) to be at a given stanine in more senior groups than in groups who have fewer years of training.

Stanine: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 % of distribution 4% 7% 12% 17% 20% 17% 12% 7% 4%

Median corresponds to the 50th percentile.

REPORTS

INDIVIDUAL RESIDENT REPORT

You will receive your Individual Resident Report from your Program Director. Your name, ID number, and training group are indicated at the top of the page. Your raw score, scale score, stanine in your training group, and your stanine among all test takers for the nine specialty areas are printed in the middle of the report. The total scale score is your overall performance on the 192 items in the examination. Residents who complete training in 2024 receive group stanine data, but not national data, as the national data represents groups 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. First year resident scores are excluded from the national statistics because fewer of them take the OTE and their exposure to otolaryngology during the PGY-1 year varies considerably from program to program.

The ABOHNS Board of Directors determined that individual resident results will be reported in stanines. The reason for this decision is that at some points on the distribution of scores, a correct or incorrect response to one or two items can dramatically change the percentile rank. Therefore, the difference between a few percentiles is not statistically significant. Furthermore, as opposed to the Written Qualifying Examination ("Written Boards"), the OTE is a norm-referenced exam. As such, someone at say the 5th percentile rank may compare poorly to his/her current peers, but the level of proficiency may actually be sufficient for successful completion of his/her residency training and passing the Written Qualifying Examination, which is a criterion-referenced exam.

NATIONAL STATISTICAL REPORTS

We have incorporated several tables and charts into this document that you will find useful in interpreting the results of the OTE.

Figure 1 is a graph of the average (mean) scale scores among all programs. This may be helpful in determining how your program compared to others nationally. The following factors will influence the appropriateness of comparisons.

Displayed is each program’s scale score average, regardless the number of residents in the program.

The number of residents in the programs presented in the chart ranged from 1 to 27 program residents. Thus, an average, for example, based on 4 residents is not as

stable or dependable an average as one computed based on 25 residents.

There is no weighting or balancing to control/adjust for the expected graduation year. Thus, programs whose residents are relatively new, even when the number tested is large, cannot be expected to perform as well as an average based on persons with greater experience.

Table 1 shows various scale score data by expected year of resident graduation. Similarly, Table 2 provides the same data based on the percent of items answered correctly. Tables 3 through 12 (Descriptive Statistics and Frequency Distribution) are summaries of percent correct data for the Total OTE score and by specialty area. A simple histogram of the scale score data for all residents is located on the same page. The “normal curve” is superimposed as a reference.

Tables 13 through 22 are tables which show the minimum and maximum scale scores for each of the National stanine levels for each resident year. Also included are the percentages of residents within each year at each of the National stanines. These provide a perspective on the relative performance of residents based on their expected year of graduation for the Total OTE score, as well as each specialty area.

The tables allow the opportunity for the conversion of an individual’s scale score to a National stanine, as well as to estimate what percentage of their peers they performed better than. For example, given a scale score of 5.90 for the Total Otology score (Table 18), one can see they would be in the 5th National stanine (the scale score of 5.90 is between the minimum and maximum scaled scores for each of the resident years). If the resident was in the 2020 group a National stanine of 5 would mean this resident outperformed 17.6.% (0.3 + 0.6 + 2.5 + 14.2) of the 2020 group or alternatively this resident is located between the 17.6 and 39.4 percentiles for the 2020 group. Comparison to the 2023 group would mean this resident outperformed 65.5% of the 2023 group or alternatively, this resident is located between the 65.5 and 85.2 percentiles for the 2023 group.
