Test preparation breeds success: Two quasi-experimental interventions in the context of the Swiss aptitude test for medical-school admissions
The two interventions regarding material for preparing to participate in the aptitude test affected candidates' test scores. They reduced the gap between German- and French-speaking candidates showing that the additional benefits of commercial offers for test preparation are limited. Hence, offering comparable official preparation material to all language groups enhances test fairness.
