Item Order and Speededness: Implications for Test Fairness in Higher Educational High-Stakes Testing
Peer reviewed
Direct linkBecker, Benjamin; van Rijn, Peter; Molenaar, Dylan; Debeer, Dries – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2022
A common approach to increase test security in higher educational high-stakes testing is the use of different test forms with identical items but different item orders. The effects of such varied item orders are relatively well studied, but findings have generally been mixed. When multiple test forms with different item orders are used, we argue…

Goldhammer, Frank – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2015
The main challenge of ability tests relates to the difficulty of items, whereas speed tests demand that test takers complete very easy items quickly. This article proposes a conceptual framework to represent how performance depends on both between-person differences in speed and ability and the speed-ability compromise within persons. Related…

Jansen, M. G. H.; Glas, C. A. W. – Psychometrika, 2005
Two new tests for a model for the response times on pure speed tests by Rasch (1960) are proposed. The model is based on the assumption that the test response times are approximately gamma distributed, with known index parameters and unknown rate parameters. The rate parameters are decomposed in a subject ability parameter and a test difficulty…

Making Use of Response Times in Standardized Tests: Are Accuracy and Speed Measuring the Same Thing?
Download full textScrams, David J.; Schnipke, Deborah L. – 1997
Response accuracy and response speed provide separate measures of performance. Psychometricians have tended to focus on accuracy with the goal of characterizing examinees on the basis of their ability to respond correctly to items from a given content domain. With the advent of computerized testing, response times can now be recorded unobtrusively…

Bergstrom, Betty; And Others – 1994
Examinee response times from a computerized adaptive test taken by 204 examinees taking a certification examination were analyzed using a hierarchical linear model. Two equations were posed: a within-person model and a between-person model. Variance within persons was eight times greater than variance between persons. Several variables…

Parshall, Cynthia G.; And Others – 1994
Response latency information has been used in the past to provide information for consideration along with response accuracy when obtaining trait level estimates, and more recently, to flag unusual response patterns, to establish appropriate time-to-test limits (Reese, 1993), and to determine predictors of the amount of time needed to administer a…
