TI  - Effect of Routing Methods on the Performance of Multi-Stage Tests
AB  - In recent decades, thanks to the great advances and growing opportunities in the technology world, computer-based testing has become a popular alternative to the traditional fixed-item paper-pencil tests. Specifically, multi-stage tests (MST) which is a kind of CBT and an algorithm-based approach become a viable alternative to traditional fixed-item tests with important measurement advantages they provided. This study aimed to examine the effect of different routing rules and scoring methods under different ability distributions in MSTs. For this purpose, three different routing rule, three different ability estimation methods, and two different ability distributions were manipulated in a simulation design. Although there was no clear best method in the studied conditions, it was seen that the Kullback-Leibler was the most efficient routing method and worked best with the EAP scoring method in most of the conditions. Furthermore, EAP and BM provided higher measurement efficiency than the ML method. Recommendations for using those routing methods were provided and suggestions were made for further research.
