在过去的80年里，对考生在多项选择测试中的反应变化进行了研究，得出了一些一致的发现，包括大多数考生通过更换答案来获得分数。本研究通过关注一项高风险的招生考试--GRE修订后的普通考试中的言语推理和定量推理测验，扩展了对反应变化的研究。我们分析了来自12个国家和地区参加GRE修订普通考试的8538名量化考生和9140名口语科考生的数据。这些分析得出的结果与之前的研究一致。此外，随着考生能力的提高，反应变化的好处也会增加。这项研究对考试机构和考生都产生了重大影响。计算机自适应考试通常不允许考生复习和复习。这项研究的发现证实了这些功能的好处。
Research on examinees’ response changes on multiple-choice tests over the past 80 years has yielded some consistent findings, including that most examinees make score gains by changing answers. This study expands the research on response changes by focusing on a high-stakes admissions test—the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures of the GRE revised General Test. We analyzed data from 8,538 examinees for Quantitative and 9,140 for Verbal sections who took the GRE revised General Test in 12 countries. The analyses yielded findings consistent with prior research. In addition, as examinees’ ability increases, the benefit of response changing increases. The study yielded significant implications for both test agencies and test takers. Computer adaptive tests often do not allow the test takers to review and revise. Findings from this study confirm the benefit of such features.
