Tests constructed through item-sampling (where several tests are constructed and randomly assigned to testees) were compared to a traditional constant-item procedure for evaluating class progress in a community college intermediate algebra class. The item-sampling format appeared to be slightly less valid than the traditional format. (JKS)
