WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN NMAT 2010

• Time saving - Candidates generally have to report at a p&p test centre much ahead of the scheduled time for the test, start at the same time and take mandatory breaks and lunches to prevent candidates moving in and out of the testing room at different times. In a CBT environment, conditions are much more flexible. Candidates can report up to half an hour prior to exam time and choose to take breaks as per their convenience.
  
  
• Flexibility in scheduling - A p&p test is offered at a limited number of test locations on limited test dates, therefore test takers may have to incur high travel costs and forgo opportunities as a result of the limited access to the test event. The greater frequency of administration dates and venues provides test takers with increased access and scheduling flexibility, thus resulting in savings for them.
  
  
• Exam security - Test security is enhanced due to controls built into the delivery systems that limit questions to be seen by the candidate (candidate can only see one question at a time) and limit test access to authorized individuals only.
  
  
• Differently abled candidates - Most CBT interfaces are easy to use and they offer a standard testing environment that can be effectively adapted for candidates with special needs.
  
  
• User interface - User Interface is designed to minimize reliance on computer skills. Candidates are not required to have prior computer experience to use CBT. At the beginning of the test, each candidate receives a brief introductory tutorial that instructs him or her on how to use the computer to answer the questions and review responses. No typing skills are required. As each question appears on the screen, the candidate uses the computer mouse to highlight and confirm the response selected. An invigilator is always available to answer questions regarding navigating throughout the duration of the test.
  
  
• Format - The CBT is set up in a linear format. In a linear format, the candidate can answer a predetermined number of questions. The test questions do not become increasingly more difficult based on answers to previous questions. Candidates are able to move forward and backward throughout the test, bookmark questions for return and review and change answer selections as many times as necessary during the allotted time before clicking the finish and exit button of the test.
  
  
• On-site assistance - Adequate on-site support is provided in the event that candidates need assistance during the testing session.
