How Pre-Test Expectations Affect Post-Test Outlook

This study investigates the impact of pre-test expectations on post-test outlooks, exploring how student beliefs before taking a test influence their perceptions afterward. Through a survey conducted with students at Penn State Mont Alto (n=50), it was examined how a positive versus negative expectation prior to and during a test can affect feelings of confidence after the test, score satisfaction levels after results are released, and the short-term and long-term effects of each mindset. The objective is to determine how students, across various demographics, can adjust their perceptions prior to taking a test to potentially yield higher score satisfaction.
