Benefits of Competency-Based Testing

This new way of testing helps see each student's strengths. For example, one student may be good at reading charts. Another may be better at using formulas. Regular exams treat them the same if they get equal marks. But competency tests show their different skills. This helps teachers give the right help to each student. It also prepares students better for jobs that need math skills.
