Computerized Adaptive Testing with Different Groups.

Legg, Sue M.; Buhr, Dianne C.

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v11 n2 p23-27 Sum 1992

Three computerized adaptive tests (CATs) in mathematics, reading, and writing were administered to 628 community college students to determine whether examinees of different ethnic, gender, ability, and age groups, and computer experience were differentially affected. Some differences exist; however, they do not preclude use of CATs. (SLD)
