Abstract :The aim of this research is to systematically review studies related to Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT). Following systematic review guidelines, 110 articles were evaluated to seek answers to the established questions. These articles were analyzed based on their objectives, results, and recommendations, leading to a general conclusion. The compiled articles highlighted that innovative methods for CAT emerged as the most researched area. Within these innovative methods, the most studied topics were item selection algorithms and cognitive diagnosis computerized adaptive testing (CD-CAT). The results indicate that CAT enhances the accuracy and efficiency of tests through newly developed methods. It has been determined that CAT facilitates the provision of short and effective tests tailored to students\\\' knowledge levels, ensures applicability across various disciplines, and offers the opportunity to reach large audiences through remote education platforms. The study concludes that to promote wider acceptance of CAT and increase its effectiveness, there is a need for the development of software tools and research focused on user attitudes. This study aims to identify potential future development areas for CAT, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of personalized assessment systems in education.
