Many tertiary language courses have some online components as part of their blended learning initiatives. These online activities could be part of assessments, and online quizzes/tests can be used as preparation for the demanding final written examination. This study attempts to shed some light on the effects of online tests on final examination performance. Results obtained from beginners’ Japanese language students at a tertiary institute were examined by conducting three-way comparisons amongst the average scores and average number of attempts of the online tests, and the final examination score in order to ascertain the relationship between the number of attempts of online tests and the online test scores and the final examination scores. The results indicated that the number of attempts of quizzes cannot be used as an indicator of possible good final examination score, although the contents of quizzes and the final examination were closely related. In addition, although the online quizzes were created as preparation for the final examination, even the quiz average score cannot be the direct indicator for a successful final examination score.

许多高等语言课程的混合学习计划中都包含一些在线内容。这些在线活动可以作为评估的一部分，并且在线测验/测试可以用作要求严格的最终笔试的准备。这项研究试图阐明在线考试对期末考试成绩的影响。通过对在线考试的平均分数和平均尝试次数与最终考试分数进行三项比较，对从高等院校的初学者日语学生获得的结果进行检查，以便确定尝试次数之间的关系。在线考试，在线考试分数和期末考试分数。结果表明，尽管测验的内容与期末考试密切相关，但不能将测验的次数作为可能的期末考试成绩的指标。此外，尽管创建了在线测验以为期末考试做准备，但即使测验平均分数也不能直接指示成功的期末考试分数。
