This is evidently relevant for the American students consistently taking tests. Too many students go to a test unprepared and, fail the exam due to inadequate methods of test-taking strategies/skills that are essential for success.

this study is the rationale for using out-of-level testing. There are three main themes to this sections. The first is, overly difficult tests promote increased guessing and student frustration, which reduced the accuracy of the test results. The basic question is whether students who score low on grade level tests would score higher on lower level of the same test.
