Integration of e-learning and computerized assessments into many levels of
educational programs has been increasing as digital technology progresses. Due
to a handful of prominent advantages of computer-based-testing (CBT), a rapid
transition in test administration mode from paper-based-testing (PBT) to CBT has
emerged. Recently, many national and international testing agencies have been
offering an electronic version of some low- and high-stake tests along with their
paper versions.In this study, we aim to examine test administration mode effect
from a standpoint of cognitive effort exertion. To this end, the results of this
experimental study suggest that the cognitive effort exertion rates ofCBT andPBT
examinees are different. More specifically, the study results suggest empirical
evidence that examinees exert higher cognitive effort in a CBT in comparison to its
PBT counterpart.
