An anagram test administered under varying time parameters was used to evaluate the effectiveness of test-wiseness strategy. The relationship between test and state anxiety, and specific test-wiseness skills was explored. Students completed an anagram test in 15 or 25 minutes.

Soraci, Jr. (1979), the worry component of state test anxiety was related to long-term memory for sentence encoding conditions that involved comprehension, but low effort (embedded-cue) and comprehension-high effort (post-cue). A noncomprehension…
