A type of true experimental design where test units are randomly allocated to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group is exposed to a treatment and both groups are measured afterwards.

The posttest-only control group design is a research design in which there are at least two groups, one of which does not receive a treatment intervention (control group) and data are collected on the outcome measure after the treatment or intervention.

The major advantage of the posttest only design is that it gives the best basis for comparison of two groups while not knowing when a participate drops out is disadvantage of using the posttest only method.
