Abstract
A hybrid design combines computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and multistage adaptive testing (MST) into one design, borrowing strengths from both modes. This chapter introduces hybrid designs [hybrid MST and CAT (HMCAT designs)] and demonstrates how it works in the context of testlet-based items or item sets with a shared stimulus. Studies in this chapter show the performance of four proposed HMCAT designs under four different MST configurations with respect to the accuracy of ability estimation. The findings indicate that the HMCAT designs can be effective in terms of accurate ability estimation under certain MST configurations. The implications from this chapter can assist practitioners in deciding on and maintaining an appropriate HMCAT design to implement in practice.
