Kylie Gorney; Mark D. Reckase – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2025
In computerized adaptive testing, item exposure control methods are often used to provide a more balanced usage of the item pool. Many of the most popular methods, including the restricted method (Revuelta and Ponsoda), use a single maximum exposure rate to limit the proportion of times that each item is administered. However, Barrada et al.…
