Adaptive assessments adjust in real-time to each student’s performance, offering a more personalized and accurate measure of their abilities. By adapting the difficulty of questions based on previous answers, these assessments pinpoint what students know, where they need help, and what they're ready to learn next. This tailored feedback allows teachers to focus on areas that need improvement while supporting students' progress at their own pace. Ultimately, adaptive assessments provide a clearer and more individualized picture of student learning.
