Item equivalence from paper-and-pencil to computer adaptive testing, 1995: p. 1 (Computer adaptive testing (CAT) is an individualized form of testing that consists of items chosen from a content validated item bank; if the first item is answered correctly, the examinee is presented with a more difficult item; if the examinee answers incorrectly, the next item given is easier; the test set is ultimately composed of items clustering around the examinee's actual ability.)
