Abstract
This study investigated participants' reactions to computerized testing and assessed the practicability of this testing method in the classroom. Three hundred and fifteen students took a computerized and a printed version of a standardized aptitude test battery, and a survey assessing their reactions. Overall reactions to the computerized test were overwhelmingly positive. Students reported that computerized testing can be a workable alternative to printed standardized testing. Administrators' reactions were mixed; examiners were excited about this new mode of test administration but had some difficulty with the planning and logistics of administration. Suggestions for improving computerized testing and the impact of the changing technology are discussed.
