Flawed Items in Computerized Adaptive Testing.
Potenza, Maria T.; Stocking, Martha L.
Journal of Educational Measurement, v34 n1 p79-96 Spr 1997
Common strategies for dealing with flawed items in conventional testing, grounded in principles of fairness to examinees, are re-examined in the context of adaptive testing. The additional strategy of retesting from a pool cleansed of flawed items is found, through a Monte Carlo study, to bring about no practical improvement. (SLD)
