Abstract
Studies on the effects of computerized testing show that computer‐based tests are not equivalent to their conventional counterparts, the results of item feedback are inconclusive, and computerized‐adaptive tests can be as reliable as conventional tests with fewer items administered. The effects of the ordering of items, the ability estimation procedures, and the context of item administration in the estimation of parameters are some areas that require further investigation.Keywords
