Administration and scoring of cognitive assessments have evolved from a paper-based platform to a digital format. Since this advancement, Pearson has created a system (Q-interactive) that allows examiners to administer the WISC-V via two iPads. However, limited research exists exploring the effects of this new method of administration when…

Multiple-choice retrieval practice with additional lures reduces retention on a later test (Roediger & Marsh, 2005).

Wu, Zhiling – ProQuest LLC, 2014
The influence exerted by language tests on language teaching and learning has been called washback (Pearson, 1988). Although an increasing number of empirical washback studies have appeared after the call by Alderson and Wall (1993), the perspectives of the most immediate stakeholders, the test takers, are largely under-researched. Equally…

Additionally, the reason for the aberrancy is not always clear, and if the performance of the…
