Adaptive Assessment

« Back to Glossary Index

Adaptive assessment is a type of test that adjusts its difficulty based on a student’s responses in real time. If a student answers correctly, the next question may be harder; if they struggle, the system offers easier items. This approach provides a more personalized and accurate measure of ability. AI-driven platforms use adaptive assessment to identify learning gaps, guide instruction, and support student progress. While efficient, these assessments should be interpreted carefully and supported by other forms of evaluation.
