Abstract: A system and method for computer-based testing includes a test driver that controls delivery of a computer-based test to one or more test candidates and that controls caching of test components during delivery of the test. The system includes various monitoring components, including monitoring of candidate progress, candidate performance, network bandwidth, network latency and server response, during delivery of the test and adjusting the source of the test components or the volume of the test components being cached for delivery of the test. Based upon this monitoring of the system, for example, if network communication failure is detected, the test candidate is able to continue computer-based testing while connectivity is being reestablished.

Abstract: The present embodiments provide methods, systems, apparatuses and/or code for use in determining premiums. Some embodiments provide methods for use in determining premium. These methods identify a work entry; determine a payroll based on the work entry; retrieve a compensation rate based on the work entry; calculate a base premium as a function of the payroll and the compensation rate; retrieve a customer experience modifier assigned to the customer; retrieve a staffer experience modifier rate for an employee provider; and calculate a modified premium by: modifying the base premium by the staffer experience modifier rate when the staffer experience modifier rate is less than the customer modifier rate; and modifying the base premium by the customer modifier rate when the customer modifier rate is less than the staffer experience modifier rate.
