For many students, test familiarization leads to decreased anxiety and increased confidence. It also
helps them understand where they are strong and where they may need more work.
"...All students (100%) reported that the timed practice tests were the most helpful activity for preparing for the
examination. One student stated, "I experienced the types of questions that will be on the exam and found out
how much preparation I needed," while another reported that the practice tests were "very helpful to me; they
gave me a 'sneak preview'."..."
From a report on test preparation methods for the Arizona teacher licensure examination.

“….some special test preparation (or familiarization) may enhance general test-taking skills and reduce test
anxiety, thereby increasing test scores that may otherwise have been inaccurately low indicators of test takers'
true abilities. Insofar as this kind of preparation reduces or eliminates unwanted sources of test difficulty, it
should serve only to improve score validity."
