What if ?
What if we can ensure that level of difficulty of randomly generated
exam forms are consistent, assessment will be more accurate and more
precise.
Accurate assessment enables identification of strength and weakness
in domain knowledge, skills and competencies.
Clear and quantifiable skill sets can be conveniently compared to
required skills in job openings.
More efficient job matching will likely result in effective recruitment.
Fulfilling industry demands for skilled IT professionals will enable
achievement of Thailand 4.0 sooner, rather than later.
