Abstract
Computer-based tests (CBTs) and computerized adaptive tests (CATs) have finally become a reality. After many years of research by psychometricians and scholars in related fields, CBTs and CATs have been implemented by several major testing programs. Examples include the Department of Defense's Computer Adaptive Test-Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (CAT-ASVAB), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)-CAT, State Farm Insurance's selection test for computer programmers, and various licensing and credentialing exams. Clearly, large-scale, high-stakes testing is undergoing a paradigm shift.
