*A performance task (PT) is a portion of the test that requires students to answer a set of complex questions that are centered on a common topic or problem.
*A Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) is the online portion of the test. This test may include videos, audio, power point slides or interactive test questions. In the adaptive portion of the online assessment, the questions are chosen for each student so that the test is neither too hard nor too easy.
