Tailor-APL: An Interactive Computer Program for Individual Tailored Testing. Technical Report No. 5.
McCormick, Douglas J. – 1978
Tailored testing increases the efficiency of tests by individually selecting for each person a set of items from an item pool so that the difficulty of the items selected will be such as to maximize the information provided by the score. The tailored testing procedure designed by Cliff orders persons and items on a common ordinal scale and…

Rentz, R. Robert – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1980
This paper elaborates on the work of Cardinet, and others, by clarifying some points regarding calculations, specifically with reference to existing computer programs, and by presenting illustrative examples of the calculation and interpretation of several generalizability coefficients from a complex six-facet (factor) design.

Reckase, Mark D. – 1977
The reliability and validity of a tailored testing procedure based on the simple logistic model was determined for an achievement test in statistics and measurement. The test was administered on a CRT terminal to students from graduate and undergraduate measurement courses. Equivalent form reliability over a one-week interval was found to be 0.595…

Tinari, Frank D. – Improving College and University Teaching, 1979
Computerized analysis of multiple choice test items is explained. Examples of item analysis applications in the introductory economics course are discussed with respect to three objectives: to evaluate learning; to improve test items; and to help improve classroom instruction. Problems, costs and benefits of the procedures are identified. (JMD)

Larkin, Kevin C.; Weiss, David J. – 1975
A 15-stage pyramidal test and a 40-item two-stage test were constructed and administered by computer to 111 college undergraduates. The two-stage test was found to utilize a smaller proportion of its potential score range than the pyramidal test. Score distributions for both tests were positively skewed but not significantly different from the…
