Changing Answers on Multiple-Choice Examinations Taken by Baccalaureate Nursing Students.

Nieswiadomy, Rose M.; Arnold, Wilda K.; Garza, Chris

Journal of Nursing Education, v40 n3 p142-43 Mar 2001

The answer sheets of 122 nursing students showed that 119 changed at least 1 answer; 93.3% of those who changed answers either gained or did not lose points by changing; changing answers on psychiatric nursing exams made more difference than on medical-surgical tests. However, those who made the smallest number of changes tended to have higher scores. (SK)
