Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an adaptive test, the difficulty level of questions is adjusted based on the performance of the test-taker. Hence, if a person is consistently answering correctly, the questions will become progressively more challenging. However, if a person is struggling to answer questions correctly, the questions will become less difficult. Therefore, some people may take longer than others to finish an adaptive test because they may struggle with more difficult questions and need more time to complete the test. The other options (A, C, and D) are not related to the reason why some people take longer to finish an adaptive test.
