Effects of Coaching on SAT I: Reasoning Test Scores.
Powers, Donald E.; Rock, Donald A.
Journal of Educational Measurement, v36 n2 p93-118 Sum 1999
Used several alternative analytic methods to estimate the effects of coaching on Scholastic Assessment Test I scores in a sample of more than 4,000 examinees, approximately 500 of whom had attended formal coaching programs. All estimates suggest that the effects of coaching are far less than claimed by major commercial test-preparation companies. (SLD)
