| Summary: | This study tested differences in reading comprehension between printed text and digital platforms. Two groups of upper secondary EFL students took eight tests, aiming to test their reading comprehension. The students took four tests in which they read traditionally and four in which they read digitally. The results of those tests were then compared using the percentage of correct answers, mean scores, and a t-test. The results showed slightly, but statistically insignificant higher scores in favor of the traditional test-takers. One test showed a statistically significant difference in favor of traditional test takers. The results were later discussed through relevant previous and related research. The reason for the difference in performance is, arguably, due to test mechanics.
