The paper considers an effect of washback that the TOEIC test has on undergraduate students. Despite the importance of testing on learning, previous studies examined the effect of washback by conducting survey-like experiments, rather than by directly observing test-takers’ performance on exams such as TOEIC or TOEFL. To overcome such methodological drawback, this paper studied the washback effect by implementing a web-based module of solving a subset of TOEIC questions and by evaluating students' performance at multiple time points during a semester. An experiment over a semester in a classroom at a university resulted in a positive effect of washback. The results confirmed that the preparation of TOEIC helped students increase their test score significantly. The finding implies that the methods of student response system can be effectively implemented for self-directed studies by undergraduates of varied degree of competence in the test.
