However books can be kept by the students for one week only.”
Free Webinar
A free exclusive webinar about the limitations of single-day testing will be hosted by Belinda Brunner, senior content specialist at global computer-based testing leader Pearson VUE, on July 16, 2014.
The webinar will draw upon global best practice to discuss how on-demand and window-based tests can offer a flexible testing solution for both the test taker and the test sponsor compared with pen and paper-based tests.
Brunner will also look at the challenges and considerations involved when assessing the suitability of on-demand or window-based testing and misconceptions about the need for vast banks of test questions when single-day testing is replaced by CBT.
Speaking about the test, Brunner said: “Test providers in India are striving to meet the increasingly sophisticated demands of tech-savvy candidates who now have the opportunity to sit tests on days and at locations that suit them, thanks to CBT. This webinar is an opportunity to examine how the industry is evolving towards these models of testing and how it is already being successfully implemented around the world.”
