Abstract

This study examines the reliability and validity of the C-Test and the X-Test as well as the order of presenting the two tests. Fifty-six Thai science-oriented university students enrolled in the foundation Course at Chulalongkorn University Language Institute participated in this study. It was found that both tests were reliable and had concurrent validity with the achievement test, the proficiency test and GPA. The students could score better when the C-Test was presented before the X-Test. This may be caused by differences in students' motivation and individual difference in retention and reading processing skills.
