AB - The interest in the application of large-scale adaptive testing for secure tests has served to focus attention on issues that arise when theoretical advances are made operational. One such issue is that of ensuring item and pool security in the continuous testing environment made possible by the computerized admin-istration of a test, as opposed to the more periodic testing environment typically used for linear paper-and-pencil tests. This article presents a new method of controlling the exposure rate of items conditional on ability level in this continuous testing environment. The properties of such conditional control on the exposure rates of items, when used in conjunction with a particular adaptive testing algorithm, are explored through studies with simulated data.

KW - computerized adaptive testing AB - Regular use of questions previously made available to the public (i.e., disclosed items) may provide one way to meet the requirement for large numbers of questions in a continuous testing environment, that is, an environment in which testing is offered at test taker convenience throughout the year rather than on a few prespecified test dates. First it must be shown that such use has effects on test scores small enough to be acceptable. In this study simulations are used to explore the use of disclosed items under a worst-case scenario which assumes that disclosed items are always answered correctly. Some item pool and test designs were identified in which the use of disclosed items produces effects on test scores that may be viewed as negligible.

L. KW - computerized adaptive testing AB - Interest in the application of large-scale computerized adaptive testing has focused attention on issues that arise when theoretical advances are made operational. One such issue is that of the order in which exaniinees address questions within a test or separately timed test section. In linear testing, this order is entirely under the control of the examinee, who can look ahead at questions and return and revise answers to questions. Using simulation, this study investigated three models that permit restricted examinee control over revising previous answers in the context of adaptive testing. Even under a worstcase model of examinee revision behavior, two of the models of permitting item revisions worked well in preserving test fairness and accuracy. One model studied may also preserve some cognitive processing styles developed by examinees for a linear testing environment.
