Since computer-based testing was launched in 2004, exams have been held in MOEX facilities or rented computer classrooms. To make use of outside resources, the agency established a computer-based testing location certification system in 2010. Universities and colleges nationwide have been invited to apply in the fair, just, and open certification process. Certification is valid for five years.
After a rigorous selection process, Tungnan University has been certified as a computer-based testing location for the Taipei area. The University’s seven examination rooms will seat up to 385 candidates.
MOEX Minister Hsu Shu-hsiang presided over the unveiling ceremony today at the university, with Minister without Portfolio Wu Hsin-hsing in attendance. Computer-based national examinations are now held around Taiwan. In Taipei, a total of 2,108 seats are available at the National Examination Hall, Hwa Hsia University of Technology, Fu Jen Catholic University, Jinwen University of Science & Technology, and Tungnan University. In Taichung, 1,934 seats are available at National Taichung University of Science and Technology, Hsiuping University of Science and Technology, Overseas Chinese University, and Providence University. In Tainan, 742 seats are available at Tungfang Design University and Kun Shan University. In Kaohsiung, 1,431 seats are available at Cheng Shiu University, Fooyin University, and San Sin High School of Commerce and Home Economics.
Computer-based testing has five innovations that improve upon traditional paper-based testing: centralized supervision and management, test center certification, no pre-test isolation for exam staff, improved incident response, and enhanced industry-government-academia collaborations. Computer-based testing has four main advantages over paper-based tests: automated examinee service, exam question diversity, reduced disputes over exam questions, and improved academic integrity. In line with job requirements of the digital age, MOEX has completed the development of computer-based testing for essay questions. Starting July 2022, exams for counseling and clinical psychologists will be computer-based. MOEX will continue to uphold its commitment to maintaining the fairness and security of national exams and promote the forward-looking digital transformation of national exams.
