Describes a study comparing two writing-based test preparation strategies--PORPE (Predict, Organize, Rehearse, Practice, and Evaluate) and POARE (Predict, Organize, Answer, Rehearse, and Evaluate). PORPE, which uses extensive writing, resulted in better essay-test and 2-week delayed multiple choice test results than POARE, which uses limited writing.
