The advancement of information and technology resulted in the change in conventional test methods. The weaknesses of the paper-based test can be minimized using the computer-based test (CBT). The development of a CBT desperately needs a computerized item bank. This study aimed to develop a computerized item bank for classroom and school-based assessments. A research and development method is used in this study, which consisted of four phases, i.e., planning, item development, system development, and field testing. Data is collected through documentation, expert judgment, and field testing. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and item response theory. The sample of this study was teachers and high school students in West Sumatera province selected using purposive random sampling techniques. The results of the study are as follows. 1) The computerized item bank has excellent quality based on expert validation. 2) There are 120 items inputted into the item bank system that has a moderate difficulty and good discriminant index based on item response theory. 3) The field testing indicated the computerized economics item banking has high effectiveness of usability, usefulness for the teachers, and feasible for classroom and school-based assessment.

“…CBT is also the global industry's brand, which includes different types of assessment, objectives, test design, and types of item adjusted to the accountability of education [22]. The utilization of CBT can reduce malpractices by teacher in assessment [25]. Besides, the duration of test also improves in terms of efficiency.…”

Most paper-based assessment tests require students to answer all of the test items and take much time for feedbacks. Therefore, more practical, efficient, and accurate assessment model needs to be developed. This study aims to describe (1) the superiority of Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) compared to Computer Based Test (CBT) and Paper and Pencil Test (PPT) and (2) the feasibility of CAT to measure achievement in physics. The study was conducted using the following procedures: comparing Item Respond Theory (IRT) with Classical Test Theory (CTT), comparing CAT with CBT and PPT, and conducting surveys to assess CAT performance to measure physics achievement. The result shows that, in case of education in the 21 st century, (1) CAT is more superior to assess students' achievement in physics than CBT and PPT; and (2) CAT is more feasible to measure physics achievement. Therefore, CAT is very appropriate to assess physics learning nowadays.

“…Due to the rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education, the paradigm, which has shifted from paper-pencil-based to computer-based system of examinations [5] which are usually termed as Computer Based Testing (CBT), Computer Assisted Testing, Computer Based Assessment (CBA), Computer Aided Assessment (CAA), E-Assessment, Online Assessment, Web-Based assessment and many others. ICT has also been used as an essential tool for assessments in military training, and certification examinations by professional groups and promotional examinations in various stages and categories of life [6].…”

The study aimed to assess whether the students from mathematical science-based undergraduate degree programmes in Kaduna State University perform academically better when either the Computer-Based Test (CBT) or the Paper-Pencil Test (PPT) is used to write the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), which is conducted annually by the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB). The study adopted a quantitative approach to research. A purposive sample of one thousand and twenty-three (1023) first-year students constituted the population for the study. This population
