A) As test-takers respond to “questions”, a computer-adaptive test “adapts” itself to test-takers by selecting the next item to be presented on the basis of performance on preceding items. Q) Why is Computer Adaptive Testing better than normal testing? A) The advantages of Computer Adaptive Testing include: • CAT requires fewer test items to arrive at a more accurate estimate of test-takers’ proficiency than pencil-and-paper tests. • CAT allows test-takers to receive immediate feedback on their performance. • Each test-taker is administered a different set of test questions enhancing the test’s security. • CAT scoring takes into account not just the number of questions answered correctly, but which items were answered correctly.
