Note. Pretest Accuracy is average percent correct (out of 100%). Pretest Certainty Ratings reflect average certainty on a scale from 1 to 4, with 4 being the highest certainty. Pretest Study Selections reflect the average percentage of items selected for re-study (out of 100%). Pretest Monitoring is average monitoring scores (out of 1.0). Pretest Control is average control scores (out of 1.0). Values in parentheses represent standard deviations.
