The exact change
"Keyword identification in test items is a teachable test-taking skill with direct measurable impact on performance. Candidates who are trained to identify and respond appropriately to modifier words show significant score improvements independent of domain knowledge gains." -- Dr. Susan Embretson, Department of Psychology, Georgia Tech
Keyword identification in test items is a teachable test-taking skill with a direct, measurable impact on performance. Candidates who are trained to identify and respond appropriately to modifier words tend to show score improvements independent of domain knowledge gains.
Suggested change
De-attributed the quote to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim.
Why this is better
Removed an unverified quote attributed to Dr. Susan Embretson with no citation. The same researcher name is reused with a different unverified quote in a sibling article (wrong-answer-review-technique), confirming a pattern of manufactured attributed quotes across this folder. Converted to unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim.
