Abstract
This study compared the effects of multiple versus single deadline con tingencies on distribution of unit-mastery test taking by students in four university classes taught using the personalized system of instru ction. Rate of test taking was most uniform when multiple deadlines we re imposed throughout the course. When deadlines were infrequent, a sc alloped pattern of test caking developed.
