Today there are various kinds of exams which are conducted to judge the potential of a person who is in the league of competition. One of the methods is the aptitude tests which is the finest way to distinguish the intelligence of the brains. Before there was a single mode of taking the exam which was paper based. But now there is one more way which came into existence from few years that is the online pattern. Which is more suitable or better has been a matter of discussion and debate for a lot of time. Let us see the pros and cons of both the modes of examination.
  • Paper based exam is traditional and familiar to almost everyone and thus people are more comfortable and sure about this. Online aptitude tests are a newer concept and thus people still fear from handling the keyboards and mouse. Though it is much easier and less time consuming.

  • You have a less chances to judge your preparation for a paper based test. It is not impossible but it is not that easy also. You need to have a good sense of time management and seriousness for the preparation. While for the preparation of online exams there are many websites which offer free online aptitude test which you can take. You will be able to pre judge yourself and the level of your preparation.

  • Online pattern is much easier and less time consuming as it needs just a click of mouse. But paper test requires a lot of time to mark an option. You need to fill the OMR sheets and circle the options with your pen or pencils. It is time consuming and takes a lot of efforts.

  •  Paper based exams need too many papers and sheets which is actually a waste of the stationery and not at all friendly to the environment. Online examinations save a lot of papers and thus helpful for the society in terms of Eco friendliness.

By comparing both the aspects it can be said that online aptitude test are much convenient and easier. They are easy to conduct and save a lot of time plus papers.
