What
is Computer-Adaptive Testing?
- Computer-Adaptive Testing is sensitive to
each pupil’s answers – automatically selecting and presenting
new questions that are optimally matched to actual performance.
- If a question is answered incorrectly, a slightly easier question is
offered; if a question is answered correctly, a slightly harder
question follows, until a picture of the pupil’s ability emerges.
- This enables MaLT to explore each pupil’s
maths understanding and skills at the limits of their own ability, giving
a clear profile of what the pupil can and cannot do.
- MaLT CAT also makes for highly efficient
assessment that yields meaningful results and significantly reduces teacher
workload.
