Abstract

This study examines the impact of collaborative testing on exam scores and students' engagement with course content. Numerous studies have documented the efficacy of collaborative learning, and several researchers have examined collaborative testing. However, few studies compare individual and collaborative testing procedures on the same exam. The results of this study demonstrate the efficacy of collaborative testing and will supplement the small body of research on this alternative testing method as compared to a traditional methodology, when used on the same exam.
