Concerto: Online Adaptive Testing Platform

Concerto is a web based, adaptive testing platform for creating and running rich, dynamic tests. It combines the flexibility of HTML presentation with the computing power of the R language. It's totally free for commercial and academic use, and it's open source.

The project originated at The Psychometrics Centre of Cambridge University
