This investigation examined the effects of test-wiseness on test anxiety, self-concept, and standardized test results. Test-anxious subjects (60 black children in grade 6 and of lower socioeconomic status) experiencing high test anxiety, low self-concept, deficiency in test-taking skills, and reading two levels below appropriate levels were treated with three treatment procedures: test-wiseness skills, applied test-taking self-concept skills, or no treatment (non-experimental group). Three measures were used to assess the independent variables. The results showed that teaching test-wiseness was significantly effective in reducing test anxiety and improving test-score results; however, applied test-taking self-concepts were not significantly improved.

The relationship between locus of control and achievement is clarified by disaggregating achievement into a momentary event (standardized test results) and continuing state (grade-point average) utilizing a path diagram approach. Although there are no substantial correlations among socioeconomic status, sex, and locus of control in this study, the three variables predict school achievement as a continuing state ( R = 33) considerably better than they do as a momentary event ( R = .56) of 174 students in Grade 8.

Standardized Test Results

It is commonly argued that teachers should use scores from standardized tests to facilitate instruction. Specifically, teachers are encouraged to use standardized test results to evaluate student achievement on both a group and individual level, to identify students with learning problems, and to assess the effectiveness of instructional strategies that have been used. The use of standardized tests for any of these functions, however, must be tempered by the teacher's knowledge of the extent to which the content of the test parallels the content of instruction.
