      ab: A study was conducted to test for differences attributable to the response mode—handwriting or word processing—chosen by examinees in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Data were obtained from 83 TOEFL writing prompts adminsitered via computer-based testing between July 1998 and August 2000. Findings revealed that although there was little observed difference in mean writing scores, small differences were observed in effect sizes consistently favoring the handwriting response mode when examinees were matched on English-language ability. This difference was noticeable for all of the writing prompts analyzed, suggesting a general effect for response mode. Further findings are presented.
