Every time an item is answered, the computer re-estimates the candidate's ability and selects the next item that is close to the ability estimate. Which each response a candidate's ability estimate gets updated and it become more precise. This is a graphical representation of the adaptive algorithms. The Y-axis is the scale used for both item difficulty and the candidate ability. On this scale, the larger number always indicates a harder question or higher ability. A smaller number will always indicate an easier question or a lower ability. On the other hand, that X-axis is simply a tracker of the number of operational items.

These items come in two structural forms, a dyad and a triad. Dyads are worth one point and a triad is worth two points. Here's an example of a drop-down rationale. The client is at highest risk for developing X as evidenced by Y. To earn a point, an examinee must get both drop-downs correct.

She was operating within the system that she and the physician had created. It seemed to be working for them. I think in an ideal, you know, within the state system perhaps, as far as the drugs and narcotic agency, but within the system that she and the physician, their arrangement, she was abiding by the agreement there.
