Students took two forms of a test in computerized and paper-and-pencil versions.

A total of 215 high school or postsecondary students from an unidentified location (U.S.) participated. High school students comprised 40% of participants, while 38% attended public four-year colleges, and 22% attended public community colleges. No participants had disabilities. 

Participants were administered multiple forms of a reading placement test, namely the Nelson-Denny Reading Test (Brown et al., 1993).

Analyses indicated that both forms of the computerized versions produced higher vocabulary scores than the paper-and-pencil format and one-form also had higher comprehension and total scores on the computerized version. These differences appeared to be related to the differences in response speed associated with use of a mouse to record responses as opposed to a pencil and answer sheet. Scores on the paper-and-pencil version and the computerized version had similar predictive power for course-placement.
