How does the DriversTestOnline™ website decide which question to present?
The program uses proprietary formulas (or algorithm) to calculate a “score” for each question. This includes an internally calculated estimate (on a scale from 0% to 100%) of how well you know the answer to the question. Some of the factors that go into this calculation are: • Your correct and incorrect answer history for the question. • How many times you use the Show answer and 50/50 buttons to get hints. • Your answer history for related questions. • How difficult other students find the question. • How quickly you learned other questions in the same subtopic. • How long it has been since you last answered the question. The program presents questions based on their current scores and on the elapsed time since they were last asked. It tries to avoid repeating any question “too” soon. It repeats questions with low scores sooner than questions with higher scores. As the score for a question increases — as you start to master the information — you see it less often.
