An attempt to help college students who felt that they understood the subject matter but couldn't pass the tests was made. For purposes of this study, test-wiseness (TW) is defined as a cognitive factor, one which is measurable and subject to change either through specific test experience or training in a test-taking strategy. The specific purpose was twofold: to gather empirical evidence about the level of test taking skills in the CLU population, and to develop an instructional program designed to improve these skills, if such a program were needed. In order to determine level of TW in the subjects studied, a test was constructed to measure selected-test-taking skills: (1) recognizing and eliminating similar options, (2) recognizing and eliminating absurd options, and (3) selecting an option which has a logical relationship with the stem. The students were divided into three groups: Program Experimental, Test Experimental, and Control. All were subject to pre-and post-testing. Because of the nature of the design of the present study, the norms for the CLU population on the TW Scale remain to be established. (Author/CK)
