報告摘要

more than one third of students prefer not to receive midterm test scores, which is associated with both the self-predicted midterm score and true score. Second, the prediction on midterm test score shows overconfidence on average while that on ranking show some underconfidence. Third, after receiving their test scores, the ex-ante overconfident students shift their base for ranking prediction from their predicted score to the actual score significant, while the under-confident students improve their prediction on the relative ranking. Forth, although the intervention shifts the predicted midterm ranking by 12 points among overconfident students, its impact on the prediction of the final exam score is only 4 points, which is not statistically significant. Last, among overconfident students, the intervention worsen their relative standing in the distribution of actual final exam scores. The deteriorating effect concentrates among the part of overconfident students who prefer to receive information on midterm test score.
