Roznowski, Mary; Bassett, James

Applied Measurement in Education, v5 n1 p35-48 1992

Current coaching practices used in training test wiseness for analogy items on standardized test batteries were investigated in a 3-group design involving about 100 undergraduates in each condition. The largest improvement came in items in the middle range of difficulty, but overall effects of coaching were important. (SLD)
