Cloze tests are commonly used in language testing as a quick measure of overall language ability or reading comprehension. A problem for the analysis of cloze tests with item response theory models is that cloze test items are locally dependent.

A C-Test is a gap-filling test for measuring language competence in the first and second language.

However, there is little research on the best polytomous…

Fadaeipour, Anita; Zohoorian, Zahra – International Journal of Language Testing, 2017
The C-test as a measure of first and second language proficiency suffers from ceiling effect. That is, the C-test is very easy for native speakers and for advanced second language learners and many examinees obtain full scores. Therefore, the test cannot distinguish among advanced learners or native speakers. Speeded C-test is suggested as a…
