Difference between pen and paper test

Paper-based Test Computer-based Test
Question paper and answer sheets are different. The computer screen is divided into two parts. This allows the student to type out their response on the screen.
The student needs to have a check on the word-count by counting the words 1-by-1. The computer would display the word-count on the screen as the student types out the response.
The students need to make sure there is not too much erasing, as this might make the paper look messy. The students can delete and edit their writing without any hassle.
The student needs to be careful about the spelling and punctuation. The computer WILL NOT auto-correct any misspelt word. The student needs to be accountable for the spelling and punctuation marks.
Having good handwriting is essential. Having good typing skills is essential.
