Inspire student success with computer-based testing

As traditional academic settings and processes continue to evolve in an increasingly digital world, computer-based testing (CBT) becomes even more relevant and helpful in assessing students’ knowledge and skills for entry into academic programs. That’s why universities and admissions programs around the world use computer-based assessments to measure student readiness to build a diverse and qualified student body.

Computer-based testing isn’t simply putting a traditional paper exam onto a computer screen. It enhances your capabilities by expanding your reach, incorporating advanced item types, providing valuable data insights, allowing for customization, and improving measurement efficiency.
