If a test taker possesses test-wiseness and relevant partial knowledge, and if a test contains susceptible items, then the combination of these factors can result in improved or higher scores. In this article, test-wiseness is defined and described in terms of the elements that comprise test-wiseness. A model of test-wise test taking behavior is presented that shows the need for relevant partial knowledge in the application of test-wiseness. A review of the correlates, including race or ethnicity, of test-wiseness is then provided, followed by a review of the effects of training programs designed to minimize the differences in test-wiseness among examinees. The paper concludes with the recommendation, made in the interest of fairness to all examinees, that multifaceted, multimedia training programs directed toward the acquisition of test-wiseness be included as a regular part of the school program at the junior high school level.
