Students received immediate feedback on scores and correct answers.A total of 192 students took 10,184 computerized tests. Mean student scores rose significantly with successive tests. Scores on the written final clerkship examination correlated with computerized testing scores. Students accepted the computerized testing system well.The computerized testing system led to immediate learning, but its effects on long-term learning were less clear. |
