	abstract = {(from the chapter) This chapter discusses implementing computerized adaptive testing (CAT) for high-stakes examinations that determine whether or not a particular candidate will be certified or licensed. The experience of several boards who have chosen to administer their licensure or certification examinations using the principles of CAT illustrates the process of moving into this mode of administration. Examples of the variety of options that can be utilized within a CAT administration are presented, the decisions that boards must make to implement CAT are discussed, and a timetable for completing the tasks that need to be accomplished is provided. In addition to the theoretical aspects of CAT, practical issues and problems are reviewed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2002 APA, all rights reserved).},

	abstract = {Tracked the effect of candidate response patterns on a computerized adaptive test. Data were from a certification examination in laboratory science administered in 1992 to 155 candidates, using a computerized adaptive algorithm. The 90-item certification examination was divided into 9 units of 10 items each to track the pattern of initial responses and response alterations on ability estimates and test precision across the 9 test units. The precision of the test was affected most by response alterations during early segments of the test. While candidates generally benefited from altering responses, individual candidates showed different patterns of response alterations across test segments. Test precision was minimally affected, suggesting that the tailoring of computerized adaptive testing is minimally affected by response alterations.

The CADT was stopped when the examinee ability estimate was either 1.3 times the standard error of measurement above or below the pass/fail point or when a maximum test length was reached. Results show that greater confidence in the accuracy of the pass/fail decisions was obtained for more examinees when the CADT implemented a 90\% confidence stopping rule than with PPTs of comparable test length.
