CAT Algorithm Ø

All the items that have not yet been administered are evaluated to determine which will be the best one to administer next given the currently estimated ability level

Ø

The "best" next item is administered and the examinee responds

Ø

A new ability estimate is computed based on the responses to all of the administered items.

Ø

Steps 1 through 3 are repeated until a stopping criterion is met. Mikado Solutions Pvt Ltd
