Student's t-test

who are bright in the classroom, but “do not test well”. Students at any level could be excelling in the classroom, but when it comes time to sit down under pressure with a time limit, they cannot recall certain information effectively or quickly enough. Bronwyn T. Williams writes about his twin sons. One excels on standardized tests while the other does not. The one who does not test well, blossoms in the classroom and is a stronger writer. Their test scores have a wide gap, but that gap does…

Change Is Great May, 2015 I woke up to my phone alarm shanking my eardrums with annoying AT&T ringtones. Today was a day not to remember and also a day that I dread every year of my school education. I got along with my normal morning routine and I stumbled upon a book or a packet that was slippery to the touch due to the dust that built upon the packet. I picked up the packet that seemed aged to the eye but truthfully had only been on my desk for about 2 months. I wiped off the packet which…

Let it be because of bad test scores or pure curiosity. The answered really goes down to the person itself. People are all different and they all have different ways of learning and comprehending other things and people. Elizabeth Day the author of the article” Can you really train your brain to be more intelligent?” decide to test it out herself and let her audience in on what she’s learned. Day went on a website called Lumosity, a popular “brain training” website, to test if there was an…

Therefore, a considerable amount of cross-disciplinary research has been conducted to test whether MC items assess the same level of students’ understanding as constructed response questions (Becker & Johnston, 1999; Bible, Simkin, & Kuechler, 2008; Kuechler & Simkin, 2003; Simkin & Kuechler, 2005). In particular, Bible, et al., (2008) looked at tests with both MC and constructive response questions to evaluate students’ understanding of accounting. They recognized…

Context: My husband and I are arguing about his yelling at our children, to go to their rooms and be quiet, when he was trying to complete a test for one of his online classes. Interaction: Last week, my husband was taking a mid-term for one of his classes and our four children were running around the house playing a game of hide and go seek. Normally, when he sits down to work on his school work, he puts on his headphones and listens to music. This helps him concentrate and stay focused in our…

The mean maladaptive perfectionism scores are average and the low standard deviation shows that there was little variation between student’s maladaptive perfectionism scores. A correlation coefficient was calculated between procrastination and adaptive perfectionism scores (r (523) = -.14, p < .001). A significant negative correlation was found. This supports our first hypothesis and…

mind, it would always rip through the rope and start running again. It was any normal school day, but the school had to take a huge test called the NWEA. I don't remember how I was feeling during the test, but I guess that doesn't matter. My test scores told it for me. My results on the quiz made something seem REALLY out of place. I had only scored a 2% on the test. Even if I guessed on every question I would’ve done better. This obviously wasn't right, and both my parents and teachers…
