This report presents the findings of an evaluation of the item pools used in the computer adaptive test (CAT) versions of the Maryland Functional Tests (MFTs). The item pools were evaluated with regard to: (1) pool size; (2) adequacy of the test information provided by the pool; and (3) balance of content domains and item difficulty levels. The evaluation found that the mathematics pool should be augmented with additional items, with the new items being substantially more difficult than the current items. Increasing pool size was also recommended for the reading test, but the item pool for citizenship was found to be a good size. It is suggested that the three item pools can be used more effectively through changes in the MicroCAT testing programs to adopt a CAT procedure that combines the adaptive mastery testing (AMT) procedure (D. Weiss and G. Kingsbury, 1984) with the use of testlets. The AMT procedure could then be used to adaptively administer testlets until the termination criterion was reached. This procedure would permit efficient, variable length testing while maintaining the content balance. Using the testlet based AMT procedure would use the item pool more efficiently, and items would consequently be exposed at a lower rate. Because all the items are accessible in a CAT, care must be taken to protect the item pool. Any judgments about changing the present CAT tests must take into account the likelihood that they will be discontinued after the Maryland High School Assessment is implemented.
