The work addresses rotating item pools, algorithms for assigning items, and optimal assembly of testlets, then advances strategies for managing pools under practical constraints. It also examines causes of underexposure in automated test assembly, supported by empirical studies, simulation, and analytical methods such as infeasibility, discriminant, sensitivity, and item-attribute analyses.",{"@graph":69,"@context":114},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/contributions-to-test-item-bank-design-and-management-academic-dissertation/201170/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/contributions-to-test-item-bank-design-and-management-academic-dissertation/201170.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Logic","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-04",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What causes of underexposure are analyzed in automated test assembly?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The thesis studies underexposed items and evaluates multiple analytic approaches to explain causes, including infeasibility analysis, discriminant analysis, sensitivity analysis, and item-attribute analysis.","Answer","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":116,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":118,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":120,"site_id":62},201170,1788526192,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":123},{"doc_id":120,"user_id":124,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":125,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":126,"file_id":127,"file_url":128,"file_type":129,"file_size":130,"view_count":39,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":131,"language":132,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":133,"faqs":134,"seo_title":135,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":121,"read_time":136,"preview_page_count":4},1099513958762,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/1000023916a998db790?x-image-process=image/resize,m_fixed,w_180,h_180&k=1784791008015729253","CONTRIBUTIONS TO  \nTEST-ITEM BANK DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT  \nAdelaide Ariel  \nSAMENSTELLING PROMOTIECOMMISSIE  \nVOORZITTER/ SECRETARIS PROMOTOR  \nASSISTENT PROMOTOR  \nLEDEN  \nProf. dr.
