Examination Paper

It is sometimes assumed that students (a) know which questions they will be best at answering in an examination, and (b) know how well they have performed after completing an examination. These two hypotheses were tested for 60 third-year dental students who completed a six-question essay examination in Human Physiology and Pharmacology. A questionnaire was administered after the students had read the examination questions but before they attempted to answer them. A second questionnaire was administered after the examination. The tentative conclusions from the study are that students are unable to predict the questions they will be best at, do not know how well they have performed, and generally answer questions in the printed order on the examination paper.
