Abstract:
A method to perform an adaptive test on a computer, the method performed by the computer, comprising:performing a pressure sensitivity test to examine a pressure sensitivity of a solver to time; judging, based on a result of said pressure sensitivity test, whether or not said pressure sensitivity of said solver is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold; if it is judged that said pressure sensitivity of said solver is equal to or higher than said predetermined threshold, prompting said solver to answer a pending question; acquiring an input of said answer for said pending questions from said solver; and determining if a time period consumed by said solver in answering said pending question is shorter than a time limit set for answering said pending question and, if shorter, giving said solver an increased time limit for answering a next question, following said pending question, calculated by adding a difference time period between said time limit set for answering said pending question and said time period consumed by said solver in answering said pending question, to a time limit set for answering said next question.
