Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) On Computerised Theory Test (CTT)

2.

What are the benefits of CTT?

 

CTT will better serve the public because it

a. Provides instant test result;
b. Conducts the theory tests in the four official languages - English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil; and
c. Offers user-friendly, efficient and convenient touch-screen terminals so candidates can answer the test questions by "touching" the selected answer.

What if someone cheats?

 

There are security features in the system. For instance, the test stations allocated to candidates are generated by the system on the day of the test.
