Assessment
methodology used earlier only by GRE and GMAT is now available to everyone
thanks to Cloud Computing.
It' a common complaint of test takers that questions asked
were either too easy or too tough and does not allow them to showcase their
abilities. The traditional approach to testing administers a fixed set of
questions to all test takers. This works reasonably well for the average
middle-of-the-bell-curve crowd but fails badly in assessing top or bottom
rankers.
That's why every reputed assessment test like GRE and GMAT
has moved to Computer Adaptive Testing or CAT.
A Computer Adaptive Test works just as it sounds. It adapts.
Based on your response to a given question, the system determines the next
question to be asked. The CAT provides a more accurate assessment of
candidate’s abilities because it administers a customized test that adapts,
challenges and showcases candidate’s abilities. A CAT exam needs 40-50% fewer
questions to accurately assess a person’s skill, compared to fixed online or
paper-based test.
Until now, CAT methodology was available only to large
assessors, employers and University. Cloud-based testing service providers have
now brought the power of CAT to every recruiter, employer and coaching center.
You can now create tests on various online assessment platforms and benefit from superior
and faster assessments using adaptive testing.
SkillSign is one such platform which leverages on a
cloud-based platform to provide cutting edge Computer Adaptive Testing
capability on pay-per-use basis without needing any technical knowledge or
expensive IT infrastructure. A recruiter or an employer can now easily
differentiate run-of-the-mills from the best and improve their revenue.
