This seminar is aimed at presenting this new assessment method for PET.

Though PET is now a "classic" among schools in Argentina, computer based assessment for this exam is not.
There are a number of benefits to computer-based testing:
- More exam dates.
- Faster access to results, with scores available to be seen online just three weeks after the test.
- Many students are more comfortable completing a test with a keyboard and mouse rather than paper and pen.
- Test takers can edit their answers on screen during the exam.
- The use of headphones for the listening elements of tests means that they can adjust the volume to suit their needs.
- Online timer and help functions allow candidates to get the best from their exam performance.
