本文讨论了万维网(WWW)英语语言分级考试的计算机化问题。它描述了一项试点研究，旨在调查对不熟悉计算机或对技术持负面态度的学生可能存在的偏见，并通过比较安置的准确性和纸笔形式的测试来评估考试作为安置工具的有用性。本文着重于考虑(和贴现)竞争对手假设的过程，以解释在验证过程中测试分数的意义。
This article considers the computerization of an English language placement test for delivery on the World Wide Web (WWW). It describes a pilot study to investigate potential bias against students who lack computer familiarity or have negative attitudes towards technology, and assesses the usefulness of the test as a placement instrument by comparing the accuracy of placement with a pencil-and-paper form of the test. The article focuses upon the process of considering (and discounting) rival hypotheses to explain the meaning of test scores in the validation process.
