A CUSUM to Detect Person Misfit: A Discussion and Some Alternatives for Existing Procedures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tendeiro, Jorge N.; Meijer, Rob R. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2012
This article extends the work by Armstrong and Shi on CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) person-fit methodology. The authors present new theoretical considerations concerning the use of CUSUM person-fit statistics based on likelihood ratios for the purpose of detecting cheating and random guessing by individual test takers. According to the Neyman-Pearson…

Computerized Adaptive Tests and Formative Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Trentin, Guglielmo – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 1997
Computers can offer valuable assistance in the development and administration of personalized tests. This article provides an overview of different types of conventional and personalized tests and explores computerized adaptive testing. Also proposes a specific methodology for managing diagnostic adaptive tests and a hypertext system (HyperDelfi)…

Computerized Adaptive Testing: Revolutionizing Academic Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smittle, Pat – Community College Journal, 1994
Discusses computerized adaptive testing, which is designed to provide students with an individualized examination adjusted to their skill levels. Indicates that scores are derived by comparing correct answers with the answers' difficulty rating. Highlights the advantages and disadvantages of the system and provides guidelines for successful…

An Empirical Study of Computerized Adaptive Test Administration Conditions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lunz, Mary E.; Bergstrom, Betty A. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1994
The impact of computerized adaptive test (CAT) administration formats on student performance was studied with 645 medical technology students who also took a paper-and-pencil test. Analysis of covariance indicates no significant interactions among test administration formats and provides evidence for adjusting CAT test to more familiar modalities.…

Using Microcomputers to Administer Tests: An Alternate Point of View.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Millman, Jason – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
In providing an alternative view to the previous article by Ward (TM 508 880), the author notes problems associated with adaptive testing, diagnostic testing, testing embedded in instruction, and testing through simulations. (BW)

Computerizing the SATs.
Evers, Linda – Popular Computing, 1983
Discusses the future of computerized adaptive testing (CAT), i.e., experimental tests developed by the Educational Testing Service in response to criticism of the Standardized Aptitude Tests (SATs). CAT examinations are individually tailored to each test taker, and researchers believe they are more predictive than conventional SATs. (JJD)

The Nominal Response Model in Computerized Adaptive Testing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
De Ayala, R. J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1992
A computerized adaptive test (CAT) based on the nominal response model (NR CAT) was implemented, and the performance of the NR CAT and a CAT based on the three-parameter logistic model was compared. The NR CAT produced trait estimates comparable to those of the three-parameter test. (SLD)

Using Microcomputers to Administer Tests.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ward, William C. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 1984
Some of the benefits available from using computers to administer the kinds of tests that are familiar in educational settings are reviewed. Four applications that represent current or near-term enhancements of assessment are discussed: computerized adaptive testing, diagnostic testing, test preparation, and administration of simulations of…
