Abstract

The paper presents methods of preparing students’ rankings based on the results of final secondary school examination test in mathematics in Poland with the proposal of methods for calculating the levels of the likelihood of learning outcome acquirement. The currently used method is based on the percentage of earned points and does not take into account levels of acquirement of learning outcomes by students. The data used in this article contains results of students who earned the same number of points, so the structure of this uniform group with respect to learning outcomes will be presented. All chosen methods of preparing rankings are based on the experts’ assessment of levels of verification of learning outcomes by items and methods of this assessment fuzzification. According to the applied method, the rankings show some difference.
