Computer-Based Testing Guide

Computer-based testing involves test-takers responding to questions on a computer rather than a paper test. It is used for large-scale standardized exams and assessments in education and employment. Computer adaptive testing (CAT) presents test-takers with an initial medium difficulty question and uses their response to determine the next question's difficulty level, aiming to keep test-takers engaged at an appropriate level. CAT offers advantages like minimizing errors and saving time and costs compared to paper tests, but requires test-takers and systems to function properly to avoid issues. Conducting computer-based exams involves using software like Google Forms to design and administer the test online.

What is Computer-

standardize, large-scale in
which thousands or even tens of
thousands of test-takers are
involved.
Computer Based Test is used in :
• Education ➔ National Exam, Selection Test for College Entrance
• Working world ➔ recruitment test
CAT – Computer Adaptive Test
• Test-takers get a set of questions that fulfill the test specifications and
that generally appropriate to their performance level

Characters
• CAT starts with questions of medium difficulty, then, when the test-
takers answer/response to each question, computer will score the
question and use that information (as well as the responses to
previous questions) to determine which question will be presented
next.
As long as the test-takers respond correctly, the computer will select
questions of greater difficulty or equal difficulty.
However, if the respond is incorrect, computer will select questions of
lesser difficulty or equal difficulty.
CAT – Computer Adaptive Test

• Computer is programed to fulfill the design of test as the computer

Characters
kept continuously adjust to find question of appropriate difficulty for
test-takers at all their performance levels.
• In CAT, test-takers only can see one question at the time, and computer
scores each question before select the next one.
• So, the test-takers cannot skip questions, once they have entered and
confirmed their answers, they cannot go back to the question or to any
earlier part of the test
