Abstract
This study examined the relation among motivational factors, test preparati on activities (metacognition and teaming strategies), and employment test s cores using data from 493 actual job applicants to a state law enforcement agency. Results showed that motivational factors are related to metacogniti on and the learning strategies in which applicants engage. Use of these act ivities was in turn associated with higher test performance.
