TLDR
In a tailored test, each item is selected for administration on the basis of the examinee's responses to previous items, with a view towards optimum measurement of this particular examinee as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
In a tailored test, each item is selected for administration on the basis of the examinee's responses to previous items, with a view towards optimum measurement of this particular examinee. Various simple rules for 1) selecting the items to be administered and 2) scoring the examinee's responses are compared and evaluated. Some fundamental ideas emerge that will serve as guides in the future design of tailored testing programs.read more

Improving Measurement Quality and Efficiency with Adaptive Testing
TL;DR: Research results show that IRT-based adaptive testing takes advantage of the capabilities of IRT to improve the quality and/or efficiency of measurement for each examinee, and shows improvements over conventional tests designed for the same purpose.

A Method for Severely Constrained Item Selection in Adaptive Testing
Martha L. Stocking,Len Swanson +1 more
TL;DR: A new method is presented for incorporating a large number of con straints on adaptive item selection and the meth odology emulates the test construction practices of expert test specialists, which is a necessity if com puterized adaptive testing is to compete with con ventional tests.

Statistical Theories of Mental Test Scores
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of test theory models and their application in the field of mental test analysis. But the focus of the survey is on test-score theories and models, and not the practical applications and limitations of each model studied.
