Taking Assessments

How are assessment scores calculated?

Assessment scores are calculated using a complex scoring algorithm, which considers both the number of questions answered correctly, and the level of difficulty associated with each correct response.

Can an assessment be paused and restarted?

Yes. To pause an assessment, close the Internet browser. Assessments may also halt without warning due to a connection failure. In either case, return to the site and login to resume. For each assessment, click on the name of it and then enter the re-entry code provided. It will resume wherever it stopped. A new re-entry code is generated each time an assessment is stopped. There are a maximum of three re-entries per assessment; a fourth attempt will cause all remaining questions to be marked as incorrect.

How does the assessment technology work?

The Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) technology and intuitive interface make assessment easy.

A traditional multiple-choice assessment requires many questions to deliver the same predictive result, but CAT technology adapts to the assessment-taker's ability and so fewer questions are needed. Allow 40 to a maximum of 120 minutes to complete an assessment. Completion time reflects individual ability and so varies greatly.
