Research



CRCT comparability study showed equity in scores between online and
paper/pencil
Paek (2005) presented a table summarizing the results of recent comparability
studies. Adding up the number of grade/subject combinations, we see that out of
97 cases the results for 74 were deemed comparable, in 8 the computeradministered test appeared more difficult, and in 15 the paper test seemed more
difficult.
 Paek, P. (2005). Recent trends in comparability studies (PEM Research Report
05-05). Available from
http://www.pearsonedmeasurement.com/downloads/research/RR_05_05.pdf
Studies asked students who took computerized tests whether they would prefer to
take future tests on computer or on paper. In all such studies located for this
review, the majority of students indicated their preference to test on computer
