Introduction: Test or assessment is a method to understand the knowledge, aptitude, skill, personality, insight, etc. of a person. The aim of the test is more important before choosing the method of testing. The mode of testing is determined by the availability and accessibility of the required instruments. There are two modes of testing, Online mode, and Offline mode.

Various characteristics of the online and offline mode of testing stated below will help us to understand the difference between the two modes, 

Bases Offline mode of testing Online mode of testing
Definition It is the method of testing knowledge, skill, creativity, aptitude, behaviour, attitude, insights, etc. of an individual present physically at that time.  It is the method of assessing one's ability, knowledge, and sometimes behaviour or insight over the internet by using technologies.
Primary requirement The physical appearance of the candidate Internet connectivity
Mobility It is immobile and locally centred It is mobile but controlled by a central hub
Advantage It is advantageous for the students located in remote areas where a lack of technology enhancement is found It reduces efforts, saves time, and is more flexible. Mobility is also an important advantage. The response could be changed if requires. 
Feedback Provide feedback later, after reviewing the answer sheet Instant feedback is provided, which is system generated based on overall performance
Disadvantages Any change of response is not allowed. Sometimes accessibility and physical barriers occur. Costly because the availability of technology is a must. Prior experience of the examinee and security issues are more important.  
Examples Pen-paper test, subjective test CBT, online interview

From the above discussion it is clear that 

  • Offline is locally centred, online is centralized
  • Internet is a must for online, and not a necessity for offline, and
  • Online usually provides instant evaluation, offline need not

So options 1, 4, and 5 are correct to differentiate the offline with that of the online testing method.

One can use the digital presentation as a part of online tests and objective type tests are also conducted in offline mode. Online tests could be subjective and objective.
