Peer reviewedMills, Craig N.; Stocking, Martha L. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
Issues that must be addressed in the large-scale application of computerized adaptive testing are explored, including considerations of test design, scoring, test administration, item and item bank development, and other aspects of test construction. Possible solutions and areas in which additional work is needed are identified. (SLD)
