Abstract

Along with the advancement of technology, the usage of Computer-Based Test (CBT) is increasing. However, many problems emerge due to this matter, such as equivalency issue which has been widely examined. Another emerging critical issue is its relation with individual differences aspect of test takers which affects their performance in completing Computer-Based Test (CBT). This article aimed at reviewong various research pertaining to the individual differences aspect affecting performance in the usage of CBT. The method used in this literature review was systematic review which, according to Galvan, consists of three main steps, namely searching, reviewing, and writing the result of literature review. The total number of literature reviewed was 21, where 20 of them were empirical research and another one was a review. The result showed that there were some individual difference factors which influence performance in CBT. Those factors were (1) Test Anxiety, (2) Computer Anxiety, (3) Computer Self-Efficacy, and (4) Testing Motivation. From those four individual difference aspects being reviewed, it can be inferred that all of them had impact on performance in CBT. Three aspects, namely test anxiety, computer anxiety, and testing motivation had direct effect on test performance. Meanwhile, computer self-efficacy indirectly affected test performance.
