A '''computerized classification test''' (CCT) refers to, as its name would suggest, a test that is administered by computer for the purpose of classifying examinees. The most common CCT is a mastery test where the test classifies examinees as "Pass" or "Fail," but the term also includes tests that classify examinees into more than two categories. While the term may generally be considered to refer to all computer-administered tests for classification, it is usually used to refer to tests that are interactively administered or of variable-length, similar to [[computerized adaptive testing]] (CAT).
A CCT requires several components:

2. A starting point
3. A termination criterion and scoring procedure▼
▲4. An item selection algorithm
The starting point is not a topic of contention; research on CCT primarily investigates the application of different methods for the other three components. ''Note:'' The termination criterion and scoring procedure are separate in CAT, but the same in CCT. Therefore, there are five components that must be specified to design a CAT.
This article provides a broad overview. A more detailed overview of IRT-based CCT is found in Thompson (2006). If you are interested in CCT, a bibliography is provided below.
