What does it mean that ACCUPLACER is an adaptive test?
Each test is adaptive. This means that the computer automatically determines which questions are presented to each individual based on their responses to prior questions. This technique selects just the right questions to ask without being too easy or too difficult. Each test is untimed so the individual can give each question as much thought as needed. However, once the answer has been selected and confirmed, there is no going back to that question.
