# Create a Test

Teachers can create electronic tests that can be pushed to Students and taken on their computers. Test questions can be formatted as True/False, Multiple Choice, Essay, or Fill in the Blanks, or any combination of these. Teachers can optionally time the test, show results to Students and export the results to a .csv file.

## Adaptive Test

An adaptive test is a type of assessment that adjusts its level of difficulty based on the Students’ performance as they proceed through the test.

Unlike non-adaptive tests, adaptive tests will result in a different set of test questions for each Student based on how well they answered the earlier question.

The adaptive test will start off with a question of a moderate difficulty. The succeeding questions will adjust based on the responses of the Students. Correct answers lead to more difficult questions (test questions marked as higher level); incorrect answers lead to easier questions (test questions marked as lower level).
