Weiss (Ed.), Proceedings of the 2009 GMAC Conference on Computerized Adaptive Testing.}, abstract = {The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is administered annually to more than one million military applicants and high school students. ASVAB scores are used to determine enlistment eligibility, assign applicants to military occupational specialties, and aid students in career exploration. The ASVAB is administered as both a paper-and-pencil (P\&P) test and a computerized adaptive test (CAT). CAT-ASVAB holds the distinction of being the first large-scale adaptive test battery to be administered in a high-stakes setting. Approximately two-thirds of military applicants currently take CAT-ASVAB; long-term plans are to replace P\&P-ASVAB with CAT-ASVAB at all test sites. Given CAT-ASVAB{\textquoteright}s pedigree{\textemdash}approximately 20 years in development and 20 years in operational administration{\textemdash}much can be learned from revisiting some of the major highlights of CATASVAB history. This paper traces the progression of CAT-ASVAB through nine major phases of development including: research and evelopment of the CAT-ASVAB prototype, the initial development of psychometric procedures and item pools, initial and full-scale operational implementation, the introduction of new item pools, the introduction of Windows administration, the introduction of Internet administration, and research and development of the next generation CATASVAB. A background and history is provided for each phase, including discussions of major research and operational issues, innovative approaches and practices, and lessons learned.}, author = {Pommerich, M and Segall, D.

Ss were administered the ASVAB before enlisting and approximately 2 wks after entering active duty, and the CAT tests were administered to Ss approximately 24 hrs after arriving at the recruit depot. Results indicate that 3 adaptive subtests correlated as well with ASVAB as did the 2nd administration of the ASVAB, although CAT subtests contained only half the number of items. Factor analysis showed CAT subtests to load on the same factors as the corresponding ASVAB subtests, indicating that the same abilities were being measured. It is concluded that CAT can achieve the same measurement precision as a conventional test, with half the number of items. (16 ref) }, keywords = {computerized adaptive testing}, author = {Moreno, K.
