- Abstract
This past ten years, some educational institutions in Indonesia have started to conduct language assessment through computers. In 2017, this computer-based test has been implemented in 9,829 vocational schools in Indonesia. While in 2015 and 2016 there were only 379 and 2,100 vocational schools have implemented this test mode. This paper deals with the implementation of Computer-Based English Summative Tests (CBEST) in one vocational school in Bandung, Indonesia. The paper also focuses on the advantages and constrains found during the implementation of CBEST. The data were collected through observation during the implementation of CBEST and interview with teacher and headmaster. The result of this study reveals that the implementation of CBEST has its own benefits and limitations in relation to aspect of economy, implementation and test administration and test design.
