Unlike the traditional multiple-choice (MC) format, the discrete-option multiple-choice (DOMC) format does not necessarily reveal all answer options to an examinee. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the reduced exposure of item content affects test security. We conducted an experiment in which participants were allowed to view…

Direct linkBen-Yehudah, Gal; Eshet-Alkalai, Yoram – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
The use of digital environments for both learning and assessment is becoming prevalent. This often leads to incongruent situations, in which the study medium (eg, printed textbook) is different from the testing medium (eg, online multiple-choice exams). Despite some evidence that incongruent study-test situations are associated with inferior…

Al Habbash, Maha; Alsheikh, Negmeldin; Liu, Xu; Al Mohammedi, Najah; Al Othali, Safa; Ismail, Sadiq Abdulwahed – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
This convergent mixed method study aimed at exploring the English context of the widely used Emirates Standardized Test (EmSAT) by juxtaposing it to its sequel, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). For this purpose, the study used the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) international standards which is used as a…

Dasher, Holly; Pilgrim, Jodi – Texas Journal of Literacy Education, 2022

The STAAR redesign includes several components including an online test administration for the STAAR. With the…

Yeager, Rebecca; Meyer, Zachary – International Journal of Listening, 2022
This study investigates the effects of adding stem preview to an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) multiple-choice listening assessment. In stem preview, listeners may view the item stems, but not response options, before listening. Previous research indicates that adding preview to an exam typically decreases difficulty, but raises concerns…

Moshinsky, Avital; Ziegler, David; Gafni, Naomi – International Journal of Testing, 2017
Many medical schools have adopted multiple mini-interviews (MMI) as an advanced selection tool. MMIs are expensive and used to test only a few dozen candidates per day, making it infeasible to develop a different test version for each test administration. Therefore, some items are reused both within and across years. This study investigated the…

Wei, Wei – Language Learning Journal, 2017
The use of integrated skills tasks in language tests has been debated for many years and international English test developers such as Educational Testing Service (ETS) and Pearson Tests of English (PTE) already use such tests to assess English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' language proficiency. Empirical research has rarely investigated…

Pilcher, Nick; Smith, Karen; Riley, Jackie – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2013
Although end of course exams remain a key mode of assessment in higher education, little research has focused on international students' experiences of exams. There seems to be a tacit assumption in most literature that exam preparation and strategies are universal, although differences in other areas of learning exist. As an exemplar, this…
