Three kinds of tests are discussed in light of this field; traditional tests, computerized tests and tests based on com- puterized adaptive testing. Depending on the kind of test that is used, different problems,and possibilities arise. Examples of questions dis- cussed are: What kind of items the test constructor could use, how the respondents should answer the items, how much interactivity and what kind of information can be used in the items. Further, the importance to control the exposure of the items is also discussed in this study and how,new,items can be tested without being known,too fast to new examinees before they take the test. A discussion about parameterdrift and the problem,with examinees,that show unexpected,response pat- terns is also included. The report ends with recommendations,of how to design a...

Is there also a gender difference in test performance in the Swedish driving-license tests? Is it a real difference or do any of the items display differential item functioning (DIF) with respect to gender or educational background? Two random samples of test-takers' performance on the Swedish theory driving-license test were examined with descriptive and inference statistics. Female test-takers performed better than male test-takers on the theory test, which is a real difference since no items displayed DIF with respect to gender. There was no gender difference in the practical test. The gender difference in the theory test could not be fully explained by differences in educational background. Although everyone who passes the driving-license test has fulfilled the goals stated in the curriculum, it is possible that the gender differences in the theory test are consi...
