Online Testing

• Many claim that providing a summative score at the completion of a test is too great an oversimplification of a complex matter.

• The mainstreaming of online testing and the arrival of highly specialized types of test creation software has brought unprecedented opportunities to deliver detailed assessments that are easily transferable and immediately accessible. – Professional reports can be provided with the flexibility of remote access and a

complexity variable according to testing needs.

– But one of the most celebrated advantages of computer-based testing is that a test taker may receive in-depth feedback as soon as they have completed the test, in a standardized process free from human error.

Timely Reporting

• Having specific, timely and encouraging feedback can be

beneficial to both test giver and taker.

– Comprehensive reporting delivered sufficiently rapidly allows for the

ongoing modification of content and the prompt resolution of potential

misconceptions to provide clearer, more informative assessments.

– This may result in tailoring the test to the learning objectives,

communicating feedback for a candidate's continuous improvement while

using the analytical data to plan for strategic development.

• One helpful tip for a test maker is to save ten minutes after

test completion to discuss responses, with the group or on a

one-on-one basis, if applicable.

– This is the time when content will be freshest in the test taker's mind and

can make most efficient use of formative suggestions.

Long Term?

• Periodic, long-term analysis reports can also be generated to

determine trends over time.

• The purpose of these timely, customizable, user-friendly

reports is to allow administrators to make dynamic data-driven

decisions that build on successes and identify areas for

improvement.

• Human resources departments may also monitor the

correlation between a candidate's scores in one online test to

other results and save substantial money by pre-screening

candidates before making important staff decisions.
