Adaptive Testing

Braincert’s adaptive scoring algorithm determines the appropriate level of difficulty for the next question. In this case, the test begins with a question of medium difficulty, and if those questions are answered right the test engine will select a question that is more difficult.

This kind of difficulty level will continue until the test is completed. At the end of the test adaptive testing, the computer will be able to assist your level of ability in the specific field.

Enrolling in the test:

An instructor will send an invitation link to the student/attendee in which the student need to login or signup with the same email ID to take up the proctored test which will be monitored by a proctor.
