Has there ever been a study comparing the success rates of traditional testing versus online assessments?

Yes, people have studied to see if online tests work as well as regular tests that you take in-person. They wanted to see if online tests give the same results for people as regular tests do.

They found that both ways of testing can work well if they are done correctly. Sometimes, online tests are even better than regular tests. It all depends on the kind of test and how it gets given.

One of the good things about online tests is that they usually give you your results right away. You don't have to wait to see how you did like you would with a regular test. They also might be easier for some people to take because they can do it from home or wherever they are.

But, sometimes online tests have problems like technical difficulties or people might cheat or get help from others when taking the test. Also, some people just prefer taking tests in-person.

Overall, it's good to have both options for testing. It's important to use the right kind of test for whatever you need to measure.
