The SEE is a 240-question computerized adaptive examination comprising multiple choice, multiple correct response, short answer/calculation, drag-and-drop, and hotspot questions. The computerized adaptive testing (CAT) administration allows individual candidates to take questions with difficulty levels adaptive to their ability levels, thus enhancing the measurement precision. As all questions are chosen from the same item bank, the CAT procedure ensures the same examination content specification is followed and student performance on the SEE is comparable.
The total time allowed for the examination will be four hours, or 240 minutes. Based on current rates at which students complete the SEE, four hours has proven to be sufficient time to complete the examination.
