The primary purpose of this report is to serve the needs of program directors and administrators. It contains a description of computer adaptive test (CAT) for classification and provides detailed information about scaled scores and examination performance. The performance section includes a summary of examination data sorted by different groups of examinees as well as visual aids for the year 2025. Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) for Classification. In July 1996, the NMTCB began offering a computer adaptive test (CAT) for classification in association with ACT, Inc. The CAT for classification is designed to render a pass/fail decision. In a CAT of this type, examinees are NOT rank ordered along a score scale in order to make a precise and accurate classification decision. In order to administer a CAT for classification, the items themselves are ranked at the decision point on the score scale according to their ability to classify accurately and quickly. Each item in the item pool is associated with the information on its difficulty (the proportion of examinees answering an item correctly) and discrimination (the ability of an item to distinguish between passing and failing individuals) levels. An item that has a difficulty level at or near the passing score and has good discrimination will be a better item for decision-making than another item that is too difficult or too easy or has little ability to discriminate between those examinees who should pass and those who should fail.
