An Overview of Computerized Multistage Testing

In this chapter, we present a brief overview of computerized multistage testing theory, including test design, test assembly, item bank, module selection, routing, scoring and linking, and exposure and security. We also provide a summary of the IRT-based module selection process, as well as the tree-based multistage testing.
