Notes

¹Note that any computerized adaptive test has to be equipped to prevent test security problems by, for example, having a large item pool of a variety of items. In addition, the IRT model used with such a test has to be appropriate.

²Also see Bejar (2010), who suggested the use of the duplex design proposed by Bock and Mislevy (1988).
