NOCTI
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NOCTI stands for the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute. It is a standardized test for students studying a trade in high schools and technical colleges in the United States. NOCTI assessments can also be used to test employees in job environments. It is, however, highly flawed in assessing technical areas that are subject to frequent change, such as computer science. For example, the current test for seniors in computer science includes many questions on outdated or specialized programming languages such as COBOL and Fortran, which are not likely to be taught in modern courses.
