Abstract :
The test organization and verification procedures are very time-consuming and troublesome also methods of student knowledge verification can be considered in different aspects. In the paper, we described different checking area like primary foundation data, information, and knowledge and wisdom skill. Taking into account a human aspect of computer based test system we present our experience in using it concerning three different technological platforms. First are traditional tests, in which each student receives an identical set of questions. Second type of test aims to decrease intercommunication between students participating in test. This is achieved by preparing test that differs from each other because of questions and answer order. The third type of tests is on-line and interactive. In tests mentioned above a teacher creates a set of questions and specify amount of them that each student will be asked. In the end we described our solution of interactive test strategy assures automatic difficulty level adjustment.
