A
Questions are selected for each candidate based on the test plan. When a candidate misses a question, the computer will present an easier question from that same category. Computer adap-tive testing (CAT) does not mean that the computer has been adapted for administration via the computer. The test is not adapted to decrease the total number of questions. The number of ques-tions each candidate receives and the testing time for each candidate will vary. As candidates answer questions correctly, the next question will be either a degree of difficulty equal to the previous question or a higher level of difficulty The practice analysis survey is the research basis for constructing the test plan. The test has a minimum of 75 questions and maximum number of 265 questions; it does not "decrease the total number of questions.".
