|
The requirement of holding a diploma which certifies |
|
proficiency level in a foreign language is constantly |
|
increasing in academic and working environments. Computer- |
|
based testing has become a prevailing tendency for these |
|
and other educational purposes. Each year large numbers |
|
of students take online language tests everywhere in the |
|
world. In fact, there is a tendency to use these tests |
|
more and more. However, many students might not feel |
|
comfortable when taking this type of exam. This paper |
|
describes a study regarding the fairly new APTIS Test |
|
(British Council). Thirty-one students took the test and |
|
responded to a structured online questionnaire on their |
|
feelings while taking it. Results indicate that the test |
|
brings a considerable amount of anxiety along with it. |
