Abstract

In analysing test results, most teachers tend to focus on the students actual test-scores as a reflection of their acquisition of the materials presented in a course. However, it is a fact that students usually employ certain skills, called test-taking strategies, when doing the items in a language test in order to improve their performance and therefore receive higher scores. The present study sets out to investigate the effects of applying test-taking strategies on the language test performance of Iranian undergraduate English majors. The data based on which the analyses of the hypotheses of the present study have been done was collected from 90 Iranian male and female undergraduates studying TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or English language and literature. The instrument employed was a 60-item language achievement multiple-choice test. Besides, the subjects showed their knowledge and application of test-taking strategies by marking the items in a questionnaire specifically devised for this purpose in the present study. The analysis of the data collected showed that there was a high correlation between the subjects total scores in the achievement test and their scores in the questionnaire. Moreover, it was found that the subjects showed different degrees of tendency in using test-taking strategies in the various sections of the test.
