Sensitivity of Different Test types to Test-Taking Strategies Fatemeh Mahjourian Ghomi PhD Candidate in TEFL, University of Tehran; Email: f.mahjourian@ut.ac.ir Abstract The objectives were to determine whether teaching test-taking strategies has any impact on the performance of learners taking MCT (multiple-choice test) and cloze test and to determine whether the said test methods were equally sensitive to test-taking strategies training. This study was conducted on 70 learners, screened through PET (Preliminary English Test) out of 130. Then a questionnaire was administered to identify the students who were already familiar with test-taking. Then, the students were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. A pretest including MCT and cloze test was administered. T-test was run to see if the groups were significantly different at pretest level. Then, the students in the experimental group were trained in test-taking strategies and the control group continued their regular syllabus. Later, a post test, including MCT and cloze test was administered. T-test formula was run between the means of the experimental and control groups on the posttest. T-test indicated that the two groups were not significantly different at pretest level. T-test formula run between the means of the experimental and control groups on the posttest, MCT section, indicated that there was a significant difference between the performance of the experimental and control groups while no significant difference between the performance of the experimental and control groups on cloze test was observed. Comparing the sensitivity of multiple-choice and cloze tests to test-taking strategies, it can be concluded that multiple-choice test is more sensitive to test-taking strategies than cloze test. Keywords: Test-taking strategies, Testy-type, Multiple-choice test, cloze test.
