Abstract

The article presents the theory of parallel testing and a few selected examples of the application of tests comparing the results of the examination. To examine whether these methods were taken into account the results of the secondary school examination conducted in years 2011–2013 in mathematics and natural sciences with a corresponding smoothing test in the Lodz voivodship. The level of both secondary school and matriculation exams from year to year is getting lower. This creates an additional problem with the comparison of the results of examination for recruitment to high schools and universities. The introduction of smoothing methods to the creation of examination papers would facilitate recruitment.
