Teaching Test-Taking Skills to Behaviorally Disordered Students.

Scruggs, Thomas E.; Marsing, Lois

Behavioral Disorders, v13 n4 p240-44 Aug 1988

Seventeen behaviorally disordered adolescents received training in specific test-taking skills relevant to content area and teacher-made tests. The experimental subjects scored significantly and substantially higher on a posttest of test-taking skills than did untrained matched controls. Deficits on test-taking skills may contribute to observed deficits in academic achievement. (Author/JDD)
