The Impact of Receiving the Same Items on Consecutive Computer Adaptive Test Administrations.

Peer reviewed

O'Neill, Thomas; Lunz, Mary E.; Thiede, Keith – Journal of Applied Measurement, 2000

Studied item exposure in a computerized adaptive test when the item selection algorithm presents examinees with questions they were asked in a previous test administration. Results with 178 repeat examinees on a medical technologists' test indicate that the combined use of an adaptive algorithm to select items and latent trait theory to estimate…

CAT Administration of Language Placement Examinations.

Peer reviewed

Stahl, John; Bergstrom, Betty; Gershon, Richard – Journal of Applied Measurement, 2000

Developed a computerized adaptive language proficiency test for a community college in Quebec, Canada and obtained item response theory calibrations on the items from 700 to 800 administrations. Describes projected efforts to detect instances in which "cheating low" (answering incorrectly deliberately) occurs. (SLD)
