Two 11+ (transfer test) practice tests, issued by the Department of Education in Northern Ireland, were administered to two groups of primary seven children. One group was intensively coached for the test, while a second group received no coaching. The children in both groups were also assessed on a separate index of ability, Raven's Progressive Matrices. Very large differences were found between the coached and uncoached groups. Differences in the region of 30 to 40+ points were maintained, even when ability as assessed by the Raven's Matrices was held constant. This is in the context of a possible l00-point scale. Differences of this size are some two to three times higher than previously reported estimates. The results also indicate that test scores continued to improve between tests one and two for coached children while remaining stable for the uncoached group, contrary to previous research, which suggested a ceiling effect after a sustained period of coaching.
