Year 12 Students' Estimates of Their Examination Performance

Year 12 Students' Estimates of Their Examination Performance Accuracy of self-assessment is critical to effective career planning. Over a two year period, a total of 425 students were asked to estimate their Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER) after sitting the final Year 12 examination. Estimates were compared with their actual rank obtained in the state examination. On average males performed worse than expected while females performed better, although neither group self-assessed very accurately. Results are discussed in relation to the reasons for the inaccuracy, and implications for career planning are outlined. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian Journal of Career Development SAGE

Abstract

Accuracy of self-assessment is critical to effective career planning. Over a two year period, a total of 425 students were asked to estimate their Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER) after sitting the final Year 12 examination. Estimates were compared with their actual rank obtained in the state examination. On average males performed worse than expected while females performed better, although neither group self-assessed very accurately. Results are discussed in relation to the reasons for the inaccuracy, and implications for career planning are outlined.
