Question Placement in Mathematical Word Problems.
Threadgill-Sowder, Judith
School Science and Mathematics, v83 n2 p107-11 Feb 1983

Fourteen problems were designed for a criterion measure, and 52 students in community college intermediate algebra classes were the subjects. Results indicated question placement had no effect. (MP)
