摘要：One of the structured experiences of high school students is taking test. This experience is usually prepared as a regular academic activity in school. It aims to measure students’ achievement, which can be gleaned from their test score. How the students provide their impressions or predictive response before they see actual test material and after taking the test are implicit valuations. Thus, implicit valuations are the predictions that answer the question, “what will be their actual test score in mind?”. The study investigates the confidence judgment and test scores of graduating high school students by determining their differences, which are the bases for developing a program to enhance student confidence in test-taking. Its participants consist of five hundred seventy five (575) graduating students from San Pablo City National High School in the Province of Laguna, Philippines. The researchers used two instruments, which are the test prediction forms and teacher-made test. The findings showed that (1) there is a significant difference between the students’ pre-test prediction and post-test prediction; (2) there is a significant difference between the students’ pre-test prediction and actual test score; and (3) there is a significant difference between the students’ post-test prediction and actual test score. It is concluded that students’ are generally overconfident. Furthermore, it is recommended that there is a need to identify factors that affect students’ overconfidence. A module was proposed based on the findings of research.
