Document Number: 2960 Testing on Computers: A Follow-up Study Comparing Performance on Computer and on Paper - Building on previous work, this study examines the effect of taking open-ended tests on computers and on paper for students with different levels of computer skill. For students who keyboard about 20 words per minute or more, performing open-ended language arts tests on paper substantially underestimates their level of achievement. Performing open-ended tests on computer, however, adversely affects the performance of slower keyboarders. For math tests, performance on computer underestimates students' achievement regardless of their level of keyboarding speed.
