Table 3 Pearson correlation coefficients of rater scoring

From: Computer-delivered vs. face-to-face score comparability and test takers’ perceptions: The case of the two English speaking proficiency tests for Vietnamese EFL learners

VSTEP.2 (N = 75)			VSTEP.3–5 (N = 82)
Raters	Computer-based	Face-to-face	Raters	Computer-based	Face-to-face
Pair 1 (n = 18)	0.95	0.91	Pair 1 (n = 20)	0.92	0.92
Pair 2 (n = 19)	0.93	0.90	Pair 2 (n = 21)	0.94	0.95
Pair 3 (n = 19)	0.90	0.94	Pair 3 (n = 20)	0.92	0.92
Pair 4 (n = 19)	0.91	0.96	Pair 4 (n = 21)	0.95	0.93

N, number of test takers; n, number of performances to score in each mode of testing
