Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In both studies, students who engaged in more practice tests provided more accurate judgments (higher absolute accuracy) in the posttest. → Nick Naujoks 2022
Evidence¶

Nick Naujoks, Bettina Harder, Marion Händel. (2022). Testing pays off twice: Potentials of practice tests and feedback regarding exam performance and judgment accuracy. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-022-09295-x
q2 · i? · associational · r2
Hierarchical regression in Study 1 (N = 201, no feedback) predicting posttest absolute accuracy from pretest accuracy and practice-test participation; Table 3 shows step 2 ΔR² = .03, β = .18. Study 2 showed a similar pattern (β = .17*).
"Regarding accuracy, it seems that students who continuously engaged in practice tests provided more accurate judgments in the posttest."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- More frequent practice-test participation predicts higher sensitivity (better detection of correct answers) in final-exam judgments, with and without feedback — related
- In authentic undergraduate courses, taking more voluntary practice tests predicts higher final-exam performance, with and without corrective feedback — related
- Without feedback, more practice-test participation predicts lower specificity (worse detection of incorrect answers); with corrective feedback this negative relation disappears — related
- Students who received corrective feedback post-processed practice tests more intensely and rated the tests as more useful for monitoring than students without feedback — related
