Examination in schools has taken a new shape with the introduction of CBT (Computer-based Exam), a process that has made the writing of examinations easier and faster.
CBT exam is a computer-based exam made up of theoretical practice-based knowledge.
In Computer-based testing (CBT), computer technology is employed, which means the candidates use computers to answer questions presented on the monitor.
It is all multiple-choice questions and it will take place in a test center or can be completed online or offline depending on the format it's being programmed.
This exam is also known as Electronic Assessment.
Nowadays various colleges and universities are taking computer-based examinations for different types of assessments.
