Student Use of Test-Wiseness Strategies in Solving Multiple-Choice Chemistry Problems.
Towns, Marcy Hamby; Robinson, William R.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v30 n7 p709-22 Sep 1993
Test-wiseness strategies used by 11 general chemistry students as they answered a 15-item multiple choice examination were investigated using a think-aloud technique. The most common strategies were those that did not compromise the validity of the examination: error avoidance, elimination of incorrect responses, checking responses, and optimal time management.
