Abstract

The article deals with tests application and correction in various formats. It is noted that the use of tests at the university will allow solving issues of students’ knowledge control, and testing formats allow solving the problems of both classical, classroom work, and distance learning. The necessity of timely adjustment of test tasks corresponding to the requirements and conditions of the educational process is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to modern testing and diagnostic systems implemented though the artificial intelligence algorithms. Examples of modern platforms are given and the necessary requirements for them are distinguished, namely: creating various kinds of tasks, openness of the platform, automatic presentation of test results according to various criteria. The results of the study conducted in four groups of first-year students of the Financial University specializing in Advertising and Public Relations are presented.
