We provided some classes to pick up learners’ perceptions by giving a questionnaire to the learners before and after both exams, and gathering at least 100 female and male EFL learners’ numerical information in exams’ mark from Toofan Foreign Language Center in Mashad, Khorasan Rzavi province at intermediate level which have provided EFL learners’ perceptions toward paper assessment how they made progress while they were studying English books such as American English file, touch stone, and four corners in an educational term in institute.
