An Alternative Method for Scoring Adaptive Tests.

Stocking, Martha L.

Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, v21 n4 p365-89 Win 1996

An alternative method for scoring adaptive tests, based on number-correct scores, is explored and compared with a method that relies more directly on item response theory. Using the number-correct score with necessary adjustment for intentional differences in adaptive test difficulty is a statistically viable scoring method. (SLD)
