Predictive Ability of a Branching Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brooks, Sarah; Hartz, Mary A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
The predictive ability of a mathematics test organized into a branching test for computer-interactive administration was investigated. Twenty-five blocks of five items were used in the branching. Each testee took 25 items, with each subsequent block being determined by prior performance. Results supported the branching technique. (JKS)
