Abstract
First-person reports of perceptions and experiences of test takers is lacking in the literature. All stakeholders add to the understanding of the test. However, the test takers are the only stakeholders who have the experience of preparing for the test, taking the test, and living with the consequences of the test. This interview study reported on the experiences and perceptions of graduate students at one public university in the U.S. who have successfully taken the internet-based TOEFL. This research suggests that direct methods of eliciting opinions and experiences may be essential as participants described experiencing problems which they do not report to the ETS.
