Do you understand how "adaptive testing" works? If you answer a
question correctly, the test moves on to another area of knowledge. If
you get a question wrong, it continues asking questions in the area
you got wrong until you convince the test that you know enough about
that area. Completing the test in fewer questions means you did BETTER
than someone who had to answer more questions. There is also a time
limit. You fail by not answering enough questions correctly in
proportion to the number of your wrong answers in the alloted time.


Never did adaptive testing. The last test I took, almost 20 years ago,
was
a
thesis defense.

So this "adaptive testing" - you get a question correct, the green light
goes on and a banana chip falls out of the machine? Get a question
wrong,
the red light goes on and a shock is delivered to the genetalia?

Adaptive testing belongs in hell!

Amen!


Adaptive testing is it's own kind of hell. I buy my own bananas, so I
don't need
to worry.

But who puts the electrodes on your genetalia?


I have yet to encounter a situation where that was a concern.

Eat too many bananas and you'll get constipated.
