The Relationship between Examinee Anxiety and Preference for Self-Adapted Testing.

Wise, Steven L.; And Others

Applied Measurement in Education, v7 n1 p81-91 1994

The hypothesis that previously found effects of self-adapted testing (SAT) are attributable to examinees' having an increased perception of control over a stressful testing situation was studied with 377 college students who took computerized adaptive tests or SAT. The strongest preference for SAT was seen in individuals with the highest mathematics anxiety. (SLD)
