Peer reviewedGreen, Donald Ross; And Others – Applied Measurement in Education, 1989
Potential benefits of using item response theory in test construction are evaluated using the experience and evidence accumulated during nine years of using a three-parameter model in the development of major achievement batteries. Topics addressed include error of measurement, test equating, item bias, and item difficulty. (TJH)

Peer reviewedBergstrom, Betty A.; And Others – Applied Measurement in Education, 1992
Effects of altering test difficulty on examinee ability measures and test length in a computer adaptive test were studied for 225 medical technology students in 3 test difficulty conditions. Results suggest that, with an item pool of sufficient depth and breadth, acceptable targeting to test difficulty is possible. (SLD)
