Description: Multistage testing, or MST, was developed as an alternative to computerized adaptive testing (CAT) for applications in which it is preferable to administer a test at the level of item sets (i.e., modules). MSTGen, a new MST simulation software tool, was developed to serve various purposes ranging from fundamental MST research to technical MST program evaluations. The new CAT simulation software tool supports both traditional MST functioning (MST by routing to preassembled modules after each stage; Luecht & Nungester, 1998) and new MST methods (e.g., MST by shaping a module for each stage; Han & Guo, 2012). It offers a variety of test administration environments and a user-friendly graphical interface.
