The authors consider formal description of procedures for computer control of knowledge. For the adaptive algorithm of presentation of tests a model of evaluation of its effectiveness in minimizing the probability of misclassification was created. To solve this problem the authors propose to use the Markov chains whose states correspond to the levels of complexity, and transition probabilities are calculated basing on Birnbaum's logistic model. The ratio for stationary probabilities which show a significant advantage of adaptive algorithms for test control were obtained.
