This study was conducted in an attempt to provide guidelines for practitioners regarding the optimal minimum calibration sample size for pretest item estimation in the computerized adaptive test (CAT) under WINSTEPS when the fixed-person-parameter estimation method is applied to derive pretest item parameter estimates. The field-testing design discussed in this study is a form of seeding design commonly used in the large-scale CAT programs. Under such as seeding design, field-test (FT) items are stored in an FT item pool and a predetermined number of them are randomly chosen from the FT item pool and administered to each individual examinee. This study recommends focusing on the valid cases (VCs) that each item may end up with given a certain calibration sample size, when the FT response data are sparse, and introduces a simple strategy to identify the relationship between VCs and calibration sample size. From a practical viewpoint, when the minimum number of valid cases reaches 250, items parameters are recovered quite well across a wide range of the scale. Implications of the results are also discussed.
