The Effects of Test Item Cue Sensitivity on IQ and Achievement Test Performance
Flynn, John T.; Anderson, Barbara E.
Educational Research Quarterly, 2, 2, 32-9, Sum 77
The effect of test-wise behavior on mental ability and achievement test performance was investigated. When test-wise and test-naive college students were instructed in test-taking skills, both groups demonstrated significant gains in test wiseness. While instruction did not affect test performance, the test-wise subjects performed more successfully on both instruments. (Author/MV)
