The present study explored the relationship between Chinese university students' attitudes toward the College English Test Band 4 (CET 4) and their test performance. Students' attitudes were explored through a questionnaire which consisted of five theoretically-driven constructs. The five constructs roughly fitted into cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions which were deemed as three components of attitudes (Rosenberg & Hovland, 1960; McMillan, 2004; Zanna & Rempei, 1988). Students' total scores on CET-4 were utilized to indicate their test performance. A total of 212 students from two universities in a southern city of China participated in this study. Several quantitative methods, including descriptive statistics, factor analysis, correlations, stepwise multiple regressions were used to analyze the data.

520 $a The present study explored the relationship between Chinese university students' attitudes toward the College English Test Band 4 (CET 4) and their test performance. Students' attitudes were explored through a questionnaire which consisted of five theoretically-driven constructs. The five constructs roughly fitted into cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions which were deemed as three components of attitudes (Rosenberg & Hovland, 1960; McMillan, 2004; Zanna & Rempei, 1988). Students' total scores on CET-4 were utilized to indicate their test performance. A total of 212 students from two universities in a southern city of China participated in this study. Several quantitative methods, including descriptive statistics, factor analysis, correlations, stepwise multiple regressions were used to analyze the data.
520 $a The results of the study showed that students held strong yet mixed feelings toward CET-4. On one hand, they were motivated to do well on CET-4; on the other hand, they were not sure of their abilities to perform well on the test. Two factors, test-taking motivation and test-taking anxiety/lack of concentration, were the best predictors of students' test performance on CET-4. Student's attitudes toward CET-4 accounted for about 15.4% of the variance in their test performance. The factor test-taking anxiety/lack of concentration differentiated female and male students. Three factors, test-taking anxiety/lack of concentration, test-taking motivation, and belief in CET-4 differentiated high-achieving students from low-achieving students.
520 $a The present study investigated the impact of testing from the perspectives of the students (their attitudes) toward CET-4 in conjunction with their test performance. It shed some light on the existing test impact literature. In the practical sense, the present study has provided CET -4 major stakeholders with useful information about the relationship between students' attitudes and their test performance, thus potentially improving students' learning.
