What is the format of the assessment in the AZMerit program?

The AZMerit assessment employs a computer-based testing format, which means students complete the test on a computer rather than using traditional paper-based methods or oral examinations. This format enables a more interactive testing experience, allows for a variety of question types, and can provide immediate feedback on performance. Additionally, computer-based testing offers adaptive elements that can adjust the difficulty of questions based on the student's responses, making the assessment more personalized and effective in measuring student understanding of the material. This approach also aligns with modern educational practices that integrate technology into the learning process, preparing students for future learning environments that will likely continue to be technology-driven.
