Examine construct validity of computerized adaptive test in Kā12 assessments
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of missing data in computerized adaptive tests (CAT) on test construct validity.

Topics: Computer adaptive testing
These studies are conducted based on assumptions under regular conditions for fixed test forms, such as no missing responses and normal distribution of unidimensional ability for a population.
