Quick Reference STUDY METHODS · No. 27 CALIBRATION

Confidence before the mark.

Surface high-confidence errors.

Confidence calibration (B20) and calibration training (E3) have strong principle evidence: predict score or item confidence, then compare to accuracy, repeatedly.

RATE BEFORE YOU MARK

1

Answer + rate first

Confidence 1-5 before any mark. (B20)

2

No early reveal

Do not mark an item until confidence is logged. (B20)

3

Summarise calibration

High-confidence errors first; then low-confidence corrects. (B20)

4

Predict the set score

Guess overall score; compare to actual. (E3)

Prompt · Calibration set

I will answer each item and rate confidence (1=guess, 5=certain) BEFORE you mark.
After the set, summarise calibration: high-confidence errors first, then
low-confidence corrects. Do not mark an item until its confidence is logged.
