Reckase specializes in the development of educational and psychological assessments, particularly the psychometric theories underpinning the development of such tests. He has worked extensively in multidimensional item response theory since the beginning of his academic career: his dissertation was on the early development of a multidimensional item response model and he went on to write a book on the topic in 2009.{{Cite book|last=Reckase|first=Mark|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/437345698|title=Multidimensional item response theory|date=2009|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-0-387-89976-3|location=New York|oclc=437345698}} He has branched out into other psychometric areas, like standard setting.{{Cite book|last=RECKASE|first=MARK|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1048445795|title=THEORY OF STANDARD SETTING.|date=2020|publisher=CHAPMAN & HALL CRC|isbn=978-1-4987-2211-7|location=[Place of publication not identified]|oclc=1048445795}}
