What are the goals of the CBT pilot?
The primary goal of the CBT pilot is to determine equivalency of CBT and paper-based testing scores. GEDTS will also begin to understand how test-takers respond to technology in real time; how the process of registration can be made easier for test-takers; and how quicker access to reliable data and reporting can benefit the jurisdictions, the test-taker, and GEDTS. The pilot will be a partnership between GEDTS and each participating jurisdiction. This partnership, working through details of state-specific policies, scoring site processes, and other issues will help determine how CBT could eventually be expanded to work within the complex system of state-specific policies in other jurisdictions.
