6、The latest reform in testing is the computerized test. Test questions and answer choices are presented on the   1  and students can answer with a tap of the keyboard or a click of the mouse. Before the actual test begins ,there usually is an instruction showing how to use the computer  to  2  the questions. Scores are displayed on the screen at the end of the test so that a student has immediate feedback  3  having to return several days later for results.

Some computerized tests are “adaptive”. This means that a test question is selected from a large pool of items based on how the test taker has responded to the   4  question. The first question presented is of medium difficulty. If the test taker answers  5  , the next item will be more difficult. If he or she answers incorrectly, the next question will be easier. The computer   6  questions by level of difficulty and many other factors, such as sex, race and age references, subject area the question is drawn from, and form of question, before presenting it on the screen. In this way, the questions are “adapted” to find the true skill   7  of the test taker.

Among all the conveniences of computerized testing, there are some   8  . No longer can you have a quick look at the   9  test, answer the easy questions first, and come back later to finish the difficult ones. Test items are presented one at a time, and you must choose an answer in order to move on to the next question. On adaptive tests, once you have confirmed your answer, you cannot go back to   10 it if, later on, you realize that your answer was wrong.
