Answer Changing and Statistics.

Penfield, Douglas A.; Mercer, Maryann

Educational Research Quarterly, v5 n1 p50-57 Spr 1980

The impact of answer changing on the test scores of students studying educational statistics is investigated. The results show that students who make changes in their original responses significantly improve their overall test performance, and high-scoring students make a greater number of changes than low-scoring students.
