Correct Answer :ANS: A
Questions are selected for each candidate based on the test plan. When a candidate misses
a question, the computer will present an easier question from that same category.
Computer adaptive testing (CAT) does not mean that the computer has been adapted for
administration via the computer. The test is not adapted to decrease the total number of
questions. The number of questions each candidate receives and the testing time for each
candidate will vary. As candidates answer questions correctly, the next question will be
either a degree of difficulty equal to the previous question or a higher level of difficulty. The
practice analysis survey is the research basis for constructing the test plan. The test has a
minimum of 75 questions and maximum number of 265 questions; it does not "decrease the
total number of questions."
