Abstract:
This study, using Spanish high school students, compared four types of a computer-based English vocabulary test: (a) a self-adapted test (SAT), (b) a computerized adaptive test (CAT), (c) a conventional test of randomly selected items, and (d) a test that combined SAT and CAT (SCAT). No statistically significant differences were found among the test types for either estimated ability or posttest anxiety. Statistically significant differences were found for the number of correct responses (co = .091) and testing time (Co2 = .023). The results suggest caution in generalizations made by researchers and practitioners regarding the effects of SAT on examinees.
