A Comparison of Self-Adapted and Computerized Adaptive Tests.
Wise, Steven L.; And Others
Journal of Educational Measurement, v29 n4 p329-39 Win 1992
Performance of 156 undergraduate and 48 graduate students on a self-adapted test (SFAT)--students choose the difficulty level of their test items--was compared with performance on a computer-adapted test (CAT). Those taking the SFAT obtained higher ability scores and reported lower posttest state anxiety than did CAT takers. (SLD)
