A computer-adaptive test is designed to be responsive to the individual test-taker. It will increase the difficulty for each subsequent question after answering one correctly. When the student answers incorrectly, then it will reset the difficult back to its original state and repeat the process. It looks something like this: Question 1 (Difficulty 1): Correct Answer. Question 2 (Difficulty 2): Correct Answer. Question 3 (Difficulty 3): Incorrect Answer Question 4 (Difficulty 1): Correct Answer As you can see, after the incorrect answer, the difficulty resets to 1. This method of testing is relatively new and is considered by many to be the future of all testing. It will assess a student’s ability much more accurately and requires fewer questions than a traditional test. MBLEx utilizes this method in order to process the tester’s understanding of the topic by weighing questions. As a result, the scoring system used on this exam is much different than the traditional approach. Weight is determined by the difficulty level of the questions answered correctly.
