  abstract =     "This paper introduces an achievement test format
                 which, in combination with computer scoring, provides
                 some unusual capabilities. The format is an adaptation
                 of one used in programmed instruction. It enables a
                 considerable degree of response contingency, yet is
                 readily scored by computer in batch mode. Short
                 achievement tests of this type, referred to here as
                 branched-program tests, have demonstrated unusual
                 diagnostic capability and inherent security. They
                 thwart common forms of cheating, both by students and
                 by teachers, and single tests of this type can be used
                 several times during a term of related instruction. The
                 unusual characteristics of this type of test have
                 prompted administration in several modes; in one the
                 test appears as an appendix to each student's textbook.
                 Here the test effectively becomes the basis or
                 specifying a principal goal of the learning to be done.
                 Repeated administrations of the test serve to monitor
                 each student's progress.",
