Practice Versus Review Exams and Final Exam Performance
William R. Balch
Pennsylvania State University, Altoona
Two randomly assigned groups of introductory psychology students
received different but comparable presentations of the same sample
multiple-choice final exam. The practice-exam group took a test on
the questions and immediately afterward scored their tests according
to the key (i.e., questions and answers), whereas the review-exam
group saw only the key and performed a control task concurrently.
On a final exam given I week later, the practice-exam students
scored significantly higher than the review-exam group. In addition,
they rated their task as more helpful in preparing them for the final.
These effects did not interact with students' class standing. Appar
ently, students at all levels of academic ability benefit from an
objective assessment of their preparation for a final exam.
Research on self-assessment in college students shows that
learners generally overestimate their mastery ( Balch, 1992 ; Sjostrom & Marks, 1994) or potential mastery ( Prohaska, 1994) of material before testing as well as their performance
after testing ( Balch, 1992 ; Boud & Falchikov, 1989 ; Doleys & Renzaglia, 1963). Several researchers have obtained similar
findings when students rated their confidence in their com
prehension of recently read material and then took a test on
the material ( Glenberg & Epstein, 1985 , 1987 ; Glenberg, Sanocki, Epstein, & Morris, 1987 ; Morris, 1990). In these
studies, calibration (i.e., the correlation between confidence
ratings and subsequent test performance) was generally low.
However, increased assessment accuracy might result in
better acad...

ova se ne čini laka :((. Jesam li uopće išta razumjela, je li to neka "predispitna" priprema rješavanjem probnog testa (practice-exam) naspram neke predispitne pripreme samo uvidom u pitanja i (već označene) točne odgovore probnog testa?
