Peer reviewedJacobson, Jeanne M. – Educational Research Quarterly, 1990
The congruence among students' predictions of grades before taking short-answer and essay tests, their estimations of grades after taking the tests, and the actual grades was studied for 69 college students. There was a significant, but slight, positive relationship between students' judgments and their actual grades. (SLD)

Peer reviewedKolstad, Rosemarie K.; Kolstad, Robert A. – Educational Research Quarterly, 1989
The effect on examinee performance of the rule that multiple-choice (MC) test items require the acceptance of 1 choice was examined for 106 dental students presented with choices in MC and multiple true-false formats. MC items force examinees to select one choice, which causes artificial acceptance of correct/incorrect choices. (SLD)
