Yuni's test assessment

I found the “written comprehension” test from http://www.englishclub.com/esl-exams/levels-test-wc.htm.

This time-limited test has pretty good face validity because I as a task taker could see what they try to measure for each question. For example, both Q1 and Q4 are asking if task takers understand the usage of comparative adjectives.

If I were a test developer, I would be satisfied with construct validity as well. For example of Q7, the main construct of the question assumes to be the different usage of “like” as a verb or as an adjective, it has been measured successfully with good construct validity.

It also includes pragmatic aspects of language like Q4 or Q9 which test takers can easily hear in daily-life situations.

One of disadvantages of on-line tests is the time issue, but this website provides a timer so that students can finish this test in a limited time.

However, the website does not provide any information on correct answers with detailed explanation. Test takers cannot get any feedback from this test.
