Effects of Item Order on Achievement Test Scores and Students' Perception of Test Difficulty.

Laffitte, Rondeau G., Jr.

Teaching of Psychology, v11 n4 p212-14 Dec 1984

A study involving undergraduate college students enrolled in an introductory psychology course showed that test item arrangement by difficulty or by order of content presentation has no effect on total achievement test score. The data also fail to demonstrate any influence of test item order on student perception of test difficulty. (RM)
