Assessment Systems

Online assessment platforms are enterprise software systems designed to manage large-scale and high-stakes examinations for organizations where this is a core part of what they do, such as civil service selection departments or certification boards. They include features like item banking, complex test construction, and modern psychometrics like adaptive testing.

Item banking is the process of developing, reviewing, and managing large pools of items. It involves tracking metadata, rotating items, and managing workflows to ensure all items are reviewed. User management with roles and content-based access is also crucial.

Item response theory is the modern psychometric paradigm used for developing, analyzing, and validating large-scale assessments. It utilizes a machine learning approach that provides more accurate scores, stronger equating, and adaptive testing.

Psychometric consulting is the work required to develop high-quality exams that meet international standards. This includes complex studies like Job Task Analysis or machine-learning analytics like item response theory. If you don’t have a psychometrician in-house, you will need to hire consultants.

Remote proctoring is a way to ensure the validity and integrity of your test without requiring examinees to go to a physical testing center. Options range from low-security exams with video recording and AI flagging to high-security exams with computer lockdown and live proctors.

Adaptive testing uses IRT to personalize the exam for each examinee, adapting after every item. Multistage testing adapts in blocks of items. This personalized approach makes tests more accurate, engaging, and secure.
