ABSTRACT

Computer-based testing (CBT) has become the hallmark of 21st-century assessment. Most large-scale assessment programs are either currently administering their tests on computer or considering moving toward computer-based administration. Currently, computer technology is used to administer tests adaptively to examinees, to broaden the spectrum of knowledge and skills that can be measured relative to paper-based tests (PBTs), to administer tests on a much more frequent schedule and to administer tests over the Internet.
