Abstract: Assessment is an essential part in determining the level of attainment of education. In spite of availability of several formal and informal methods, Computer Based Assessment (CBT) is predominantly used for very large scale assessments. Adaptive Testing has better estimation capabilities if the standard of its items (questions) match the ability of the candidate. Items that are too simple or too difficult give unpredictable reactions and can’t give much information about the ability of the student. It is therefore essential to select items from the large pool so that the selected item gives maximum information about the ability of the student. This paper reviews the various methods for the item selection during the computerized adaptive testing.
Keywords: Computer Adaptive Testing, Item Selection Approaches.
