The statistical tools such as descriptive statistics, full factorial design and analysis of source of variation were used to identify the potential factors that impact the validity of testing method for determining the strength of cement. The results showed that personal error impacted both accuracy and precision of test greatly. Experimental time associated with temperature fluctuation resulted in strength variation but did not impact the precision of test in all curing ages. Different compactions did not impact the precision of test but resulted in the strength variation on 3 d and 28 d significantly. Different methods for the initial moist air curing significantly impacted the precision of testing method and resulted in the strength variation of cement on 1 d.
