Peer reviewedStocking, Martha L.; Lewis, Charles – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1998
Ensuring item and pool security in a continuous testing environment is explored through a new method of controlling exposure rate of items conditional on ability level in computerized testing. Properties of this conditional control on exposure rate, when used in conjunction with a particular adaptive testing algorithm, are explored using simulated…

Peer reviewedStocking, Martha L. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1996
An alternative method for scoring adaptive tests, based on number-correct scores, is explored and compared with a method that relies more directly on item response theory. Using the number-correct score with necessary adjustment for intentional differences in adaptive test difficulty is a statistically viable scoring method. (SLD)
