La evaluación por ordenadores se ha convertido en una tendencia que facilita la recolección y procesamiento de las respuestas. Cada año, un considerable grupo de estudiantes toma los exámenes online para evaluarse en un idioma. Sin embargo, muchos de ellos pueden no sentirse cómodos con este formato de evaluación. Este artículo describe un estudio con el relativamente nuevo APTIS Test del Consejo Británico. 31 estudiantes realizaron la prueba y respondieron un cuestionario online con preguntas abiertas sobre los sentimientos que tuvieron mientras se examinaban.
