Tailor-APL: An Interactive Computer Program for Individual Tailored Testing. Technical Report No. 5.
McCormick, Douglas J. – 1978
Tailored testing increases the efficiency of tests by individually selecting for each person a set of items from an item pool so that the difficulty of the items selected will be such as to maximize the information provided by the score. The tailored testing procedure designed by Cliff orders persons and items on a common ordinal scale and…

Peer reviewedHambleton, Ronald K.; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
A new method was developed to assist in the selection of a test length by utilizing computer simulation procedures and item response theory. A demonstration of the method presents results which address the influences of item pool heterogeneity matched to the objectives of interest and the method of item selection. (Author/PN)
