SKILL ASSESSMENT TEST CALIBRATION

Abstract:

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for skill assessment test calibration. An assessment test calibration system presents a test question relating to a skill to a set of users of an employment services platform. The assessment test calibration system receives a set of answers provided by the users for the test question and determines a difficultly score for the test questions based on the set of answers and the profile data included in the user profiles of the set of users. The difficulty score indicates an estimated level of difficulty of the test question. The test question is presented as part of an adaptive skill assessment test administered to determine a user's proficiency in the skill. The test question is presented at a point during the adaptive skill assessment test based the difficulty score determined for the test question.
