Reviews

Clearly, the virtues of MST design are being recognized, although challenges remain. This volume takes an important step in preparing us for these challenges by examining foundational issues that cut across different types of methodological and operational situations, and delving into issues that are particularly germane to different classes of adaptive testing. -From the Foreword by Ida Lawrence, Senior Vice President of Research & Development, Educational Testing Service (ETS), Princeton, New Jersey, USA

... this is a terrific book and the editors should be congratulated. -Psychometrika, Vol. 80, No. 1, March 2015
