Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) is a type of assessment that adjusts to one’s level of performance in real time. The level of difficulty depends on how well you perform. If you try to think about it, you are getting accurate measurement of one’s skills and ability in real time. Low performing students will be able to finish the exam without being frustrated or demotivated. I like that this helps the teachers to know the level of their students in that exact moment. This type of assessment is not just focus on the students who are placed at the middle level but also the one who are on the edge of their ability range. This type of assessment can not be utilized in places where there’s no technology access. We can say that those students in the poor nations will not be able to have a glimpse of this wonderful tool. Those students who prefer the usual pen and paper exams may not really benefit from this. Digital testing also requires knowledge of basic computer instructions. There is a big chance that those who are not capable of using a computer may also fail on this type of exam.
