 note = {application/pdf, AN00000289-20120726-78, This study explored what strategies are used when Japanese college students sit for tests. English proficiency tests such as the TOEIC or the TOEFL have been popular in recent years in Japan, both in academic and employment situations. However, few studies have examined the strategies test-takers use, while numerous studies have been conducted on general learning strategies and strategies for specific skills such as listening or speaking. This study explored the structures of test-taking strategies, especially for the TOEIC reading sections by collecting possible strategies, examining them one by one, pilot testing them and finally extracting six groups of test taking strategies using exploratory factor analysis. As a result of this study, we successfully developed a 66-item questionnaire called SITT (Strategy Inventory for Test Taking). By employing the SITT with Japanese college students, this study investigated the most and least frequently used strategies. The results indicated that metacognitive strategies were not frequently used and that specific reading strategies such as making inferences and selective attention were frequently used.},
