What is the difference between adaptive testing and traditional testing?

There are differences in testing methods and accuracy.

1. In terms of testing methods, traditional tests use a fixed testing method, and all testees need to answer the same questions, while adaptive tests will automatically adjust the test difficulty and scope based on the testees’ answers to achieve more accurate results.

Test Results.

2. In terms of test accuracy, traditional tests cannot be adjusted according to the actual ability level of the testee, and the test accuracy is relatively low. Adaptive tests are based on computer technology and are more accurate.

Adaptive testing can more accurately assess the ability level of test subjects, saving testing time and costs; the advantages of traditional testing are that it is simple and easy to implement, and the test results are relatively stable.
