ABSTRACT
All tests are administered following some testing algorithm. The testing algorithm is a set of rules specifying the questions to be answered by the examinee, and their order of presentation. A testing algorithm is most conveniently described in terms of three fairly obvious parts:
How to START: What is the first item presented to the examinee?
How to CONTINUE: After each response, what is the next item?
How to STOP: When is the test over?
