adaptive assessment

Adaptive assessment is a testing method that adjusts the difficulty of questions based on how a test-taker responds. If a person answers correctly, the next question might be more challenging; if they answer incorrectly, the next might be easier. This approach helps to accurately measure a person's knowledge or skills more efficiently than traditional testing. It tailors the experience to each individual, providing a personalized and precise assessment of their abilities. Adaptive assessments are commonly used in education and professional testing to better understand a person's strengths and areas for improvement.
