5.1 Research Results 

The characteristics of test takers have a direct impact on the way they perform the test tasks. That’s to say, test taker is closely connected to the theory-based validity of a given  test.  In  this  section,  the  first  research  question  is  addressed  by  analyzing  the questionnaire  survey  to  find  out  what  the  physical,  psychological  and  experimental characteristics  of  all  the  subjects  are  involved  during  the  test  taking  processes  on  the one  hand.  On  the  other  hand,  the  theory-based  validity  is  examined  by  analyzing  the reading skills both of the reading subtests measured according to Liu Runqing and Han Baocheng  (2000:  106-107),  as  well  as  the  participants’  cognitive  and  interactional activity  in  the  processes  of  reading  passages  and  answering  questions  from  the immediate introspection experiment.  Data from the items 1 to 4 in the students’ questionnaire indicates that none of the candidates  in  the  process  of  test  administration  of  CSET  and  TOEFLJ  have  special needs  even  though  33.8%  of  them  feel  uncomfortable  physically,  like  headache, toothache or cold. Of them 29.9% feel nervous and anxious about not finishing the task in  set  time  or  the  difficulty  of  the  task,  in  particular  TOEFLJ.  When  it  comes  to  their experimental characteristics, the number of the participants who are familiar with CSET is much more than TOEFLJ with 54.5% for the former and 11.7% for the latter, because they have practiced CSET in their everyday English study for the preparation of SHSEE next  year  whereas  it  is  the  first  time  for  them  to  take  TOEFLJ  formally  although  they experienced a practice test in prior of the study.

Conclusion  

This chapter sums up the whole thesis through displaying the major findings in the present  research,  offering  implications  for  the  reform  of  English  examination  and education in China, pointing out the limitations of the study as well as putting forward recommendations for further in-depth researches on this subject. The  current  study  compares  and  analyzes  the  validity  of  reading  comprehension subtests  in  CSET  and  TOEFLJ  with  reference  to  Weir’s  evidence-based  validation framework in order to find out the similarities and differences between them by putting forward the following research questions: (1) What are the physical, psychological and experiential characteristics of the test-takers involved in the test taking process?
