A one-sided exact test, based on the unconditional distribution of the common Z statistic, is proposed for the hypothesis of equal success probabilities in a 2 .times. 2 comparative trials contingency table. The need for an exact test is justified by the fact that the Type 1 error probabilities of the large-sample (normal) test may turn out to be more than twice the nominal significance level. Power comparisons reveal that the new test performs considerably better than Fisher''s exact test. In some cases, the exact Z test is even more powerful than the randomized conditional test, which is uniformly most powerful among all the unbiased tests.
