What is a 'remote proctored' CBT exam?
Answer: An exam taken at home or another location monitored online by a live or AI proctor
Remote proctored exams use webcam, microphone, and screen-sharing software to allow candidates to test from home while being monitored for integrity.
Before starting a remote proctored CBT exam at home, which system check is most commonly required?
Answer: Running a system/equipment check to confirm webcam, microphone, and internet speed meet requirements
Testing platforms require a pre-exam system check to ensure the candidate's hardware and internet connection can support secure, uninterrupted delivery.
What does 'exam retake policy' refer to in a CBT certification program?
Answer: Rules governing how soon and how many times a failing candidate may retest
Retake policies specify mandatory waiting periods and attempt limits to prevent candidates from memorizing questions through repeated testing.
Which term describes the statistical measure used to evaluate how well a CBT question distinguishes between high- and low-performing candidates?
Answer: Item discrimination index
The item discrimination index reflects how effectively a question separates candidates with strong knowledge from those with weaker knowledge.
What is 'score validity' in the context of CBT examinations?
Answer: The degree to which exam scores accurately measure the intended knowledge or skills
Score validity refers to the extent to which test scores meaningfully and accurately represent the construct—knowledge, skills, or abilities—they are designed to measure.
In a CBT testing center, why are candidates typically required to empty their pockets and remove watches before entering the exam room?
Answer: To eliminate the possibility of smuggling in unauthorized aids or recording devices
Pocket checks and removal of watches prevent candidates from concealing cheat sheets, earpieces, or smartwatches that could be used to access external help.
What is the main purpose of a 'score verification' or 'score audit' request after a CBT exam?
Answer: To confirm the scoring process was applied correctly to the candidate's responses
A score verification review confirms that the automated scoring engine correctly recorded and processed all of the candidate's responses with no technical errors.
