This text does an excellent job of tying IRT theories together and explaining the underlying premises for this important realm of testing and assessment.

This text establishes a foundation for someone to understand how to apply IRT but does not offer a quick and easy to use reference for a practitioner seeking to consider the nuances of preferable approaches to test development and scoring.

This review is from: Item Response Theory: Parameter Estimation Techniques, Second Edition (Statistics: A Series of Textbooks and Monographs) (Hardcover)
This is book is awesome at explaining the IRT model in plain English. It it not full of esoteric jargon, and it allows the reader to clearly grasp the fundamentals of IRT.
