Examinees' feedback questionnaires

Test experts are in agreement that examinees' feelings and attitudes towards a test should be taken into account by test constructors and test users; however, very limited work has been done to date to develop feedback systems designed to study the examinees' reactions. The Examinees' Feedback Questionnaire is a device constructed to fill this gap. Immediately after taking a test, examinees are requested to rate, on several scales, their own test-behaviour, perceived test characterstics and several aspects of the test situation. A description of a specific feedback instrument, designed to study examinees' reactions to a university psychometric entrance examination, is presented herein, with the results of several statistical analyses (including reliability measures), and several examples of practical applications. Readers are urged to view the Examinees' Feedback Questionnaire as a suggestive, rather than an established device, and they are encouraged to construct their own EFeQs.
