The Effects of Coaching for Scholastic Aptitude.
Dyer, Henry S.
NASSP Bulletin, v71 n496 p46-50,52-53 Feb 1987
Reviews 12 studies to determine whether coaching improves student performance on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). While results are mixed, evidence suggests that coaching does not appreciably improve students' verbal or math scores. Factors such as test reliability and weighting SAT scores with high school records should be considered. Includes seven references. (MLH)
