Test-Wiseness
Allan (1992) developed a test of test-wiseness for ESL students. The test included stem-option cues, in which it was possible to match information from the stem with information in the correct option; grammatical cues, where only one alternative matched the stem grammatically; similar options, where several distractors could be eliminated because they essentially said the same thing; and item giveaways, where another item already gave away the information.
