Abstract

The aim of this research is to study the accurate prediction of comparing test information and evaluation result by multidimensional computerized adaptive scholastic aptitude test program used for grade 9 students under different reviewing test conditions. Grade 9 students of the Secondary Educational Service Area Office in the North- east of Thailand, in 2014 academic year were the sample used in this research. The research materials were two test programs: the test program that allows reviewing of answers and the one that does not allow reviewing of answers. The manual of the test program and evaluation form of the multidimensional  computerized  adaptive  scholastic  aptitude  test  program  used for  grade 9  students  in different  reviewing  test  conditions showed that: 1) The test program is an accurate predictor of the students’ achievement, as verbal factor correlates with the students’ achievement in five core subjects. The aptitude tests on number and reasoning correlate with the students’ achievement in Mathematics, science and social science. The aptitude test on space correlates with the students’ achievement in Mathematics and science. 2) The test program has statistical and significant difference at .05 level. 3) The evaluation result of the two test programs has statistical significance at .05 level.
