ABSTRACT

It is good practice of assessment to acquire sufficient information to make decisions regarding the knowledge, skills or attitudes of candidates using no more resources than needed. Although most assessment programs tend to use the same resources –for example the same number of objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) stations or same number of multiple-choice questions– for all candidates, we need fewer resources for candidates who have very high or very low levels competence than for candidates who are somewhere in between. Sequential assessment designs can help to reduce resources where those are not needed and can as such help to reduce time and other costs. This article presents an example of such a sequential assessment design which can be used, regardless of the number of candidates.
