Abstract
The wide spread of Computer Based Test in the Iraqi universities raised an important concern for some scholars thinking about integrating computers as an academic assessment tool before making big change in the examination systems, that concern is: how the computerized test score is effected in comparison to old paper and pencil . This paper researches whether test scores of Iraqi students varies in the computer, Pencil based tests, sixty-four postgraduate graduates from Iraqi universities. Thirty five female and twenty nine male, all graduated from colleges of science in specializations other than computer science and applying for postgraduate studies in the Iraqi public universities. Therefore are obliged to get the Iraqi computer skills certification for the postgraduate studies, those students chose the computer center in the University of Baghdad to get that certificate. The findings of the study confirmed that postgraduate candidates test scores were not distinctive in the PC based test and in the paper based test, which drove us to presume that PC based testing can be considered as a promising elective method for the logical postgraduate candidates in Iraq.
Highlights
The strategy for managing tests in which the reactions are electronically recorded, evaluated, or both is called Computer-Based Testing (CBT), Computer directed testing, Computer-Based Assessment or e-exam
This study aims to tackle the issue of transforming from pencil and paper test (PPT) to CBT for the Iraqi students
This examination concentrated on deciding if the test scores of Iraqi postgraduate candidates are distinctive in the Iraqi CBT and Paper tests (PPT)
Summary
The strategy for managing tests in which the reactions are electronically recorded, evaluated, or both is called Computer-Based Testing (CBT), Computer directed testing, Computer-Based Assessment or e-exam. CBT might be an independent framework or a piece of a virtual learning system, potentially got through the World Wide Web. For financial, practical advantages with immediate grading; the Ministry Of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq (MOHESR) progressively moving their Pencil-Paper tests (PPT) to PC based tests CBT. Reviews the purposes behind utilizing PCs as an evaluation tool in some tests. Results demonstrate that arbitrary based tests can have various significant leverage over settled evaluations; likewise, CBT does not need to be seen in disconnection from the learning condition, yet, can have an effect upon an understudy's examination methodology. CBT can be used in all disciplines of science [6] surveyed under postgraduate medical education students about their preference of CBT and PPT and the majority of students preferred CBT
