Test Mode Anticipation and Performance: A Classroom Experiment.

Sanjivamurthy, P.T.; Kumar, V.K.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v8 n4 p355-65 Oct 1983

After six weeks of testing college algebra students (n=84) either on recall or recognition tests, the test modes were changed without warning. Results showed that performance suffered when the test mode was changed for students anticipating a recognition test. Students anticipating a recall test did equally well in both test modes.
