Who Benefits Most From Preparing for a "Coachable" Admissions Test?

Powers, Donald E.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v24 n3 p247-62 Fall 1987

Data on test familiarity effects on Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) analytical ability scores (EJ 304 980) were reanalyzed. Little difference was found among subgroups: age, ethnic groups, degree aspiration, English language dominance, and GRE scores. Test preparation included practice, knowledge of results, and strategies for each item type. (Author/GDC)
