Enhancing Test Security: Utilizing Parallel MST Pools for Effective MST Panel Assembly

• In Event: Electronic Board Session I

Abstract

This study demonstrates the effectiveness of constructing parallel MST panels through unlimited parallel sub-pools while monitoring item exposure rate and overlap rate throughout the assembly process. Simulation studies reveal that multiple panels assembled by parallel sub-pools achieve comparable decision accuracy as a single panel assembled by the entire item pool.
