Abstract
Abstract This article presents an overview of computer‐adaptive testing (CAT). The basic CAT algorithm is introduced, followed by a discussion of item response theory (IRT) test information functions and their role in adaptive testing. Issues such as test efficiency and security risks under CAT are also discussed. This article concludes with a description of four promising CAT variants, including CAT shadow tests, a‐stratified CAT, testlet‐based CAT, and computer‐adaptive multistage testing.
