10. Common Assessment Formats Paper and pencil testing Computer based testing (CBT) – Uses fixed form but is administered using a computer Computer adaptive testing (CAT) – Presents harder or easier questions, depending on how the student performs as the test proceeds – Can provide greater accuracy with fewer questions 10

11. 11 Computer Adaptive Testing The system will adjust the difficulty of items throughout the assessment Correct or Incorrect Difficulty of Next Item CorrectMore Difficult IncorrectEasier
