Traditionally operating an exclusively paper-based testing (PBT) system, the Educational Authority launched a project comparing (a) the results and (b) the success rates between the two delivery modes. In the quantitative analysis, we found significant differences between the delivery modes. This result was supported by the verbal data from interviews with exam officers. Summary State-accredited foreign language testing in Hungary is an administrative procedure primarily regulated by Government Decree 137 / 2008. During the COVID pandemic in 2020, the Decree was modified to accommodate CBT including internet-based testing (iBT) so that candidates could take the language tests required for entrance examinations and university degrees. While the introduction of CBT was a necessary and adequate step to ensure the smooth operation of language testing, it remained equally important to maintain the previously established quality standards. Therefore, the Educational Authority together with the Hungarian Accreditation Board for Foreign Language Examinations launched a mixed-methods study to investigate the effect of the introduction of CBT on test results and pass rates. In the quantitative analysis, we processed the data from the years 2018 through 2022 (N = 493,301). Using t-tests and ANOVA, we found that while differences existed both between delivery modes and years of test administration, they were explained by changes in language policy rather than the advent of CBT. In the qualitative inquiry, the four most popular exam offices were interviewed about their views on CBT. Exam office managers believed that success on language tests was a function of mastery and preparation rather than delivery mode.

Consequently, foreign language exams can now be taken in two modes of delivery: a) paper-based (PB) and b) computer-based (CB). The aim of the research conducted in the spring 2022 was to compare the lived experiences of test-takers taking language exams in the two different delivery modes. Applying the nonprobability sampling method, an online questionnaire was sent to former candidates who had taken the exam in 2020 and 2021. Respondents were asked to give answers for Likert-scale items to get quantitative data and elaborate on their lived experiences, providing an emic perspective. The written answers were analysed using the constant comparative method to identify emerging themes. Of the 2015 respondents, 81% completed PB exams and 19% took CB exams.
