CBT have helped to minimize exam malpractice. CBT also reduce the stress and burden of carrying papers and writing materials to exam destination centers. I believe that CBT have contributed significantly to education and examination tests.

It has really helped with examination malpractices because the question can be altered in real time. It also makes the process of getting results for exams quite easy because it is almost instant.
