Abstract
Finally, our data show small but statistically significant incremental validity of the confidence scores above and beyond the accuracy scores in predicting numeracy test scores, the total TOEFL iBT scores, and TOEFL iBT subscores on the writing and speaking sections. We found no incremental validity of the confidence scores in predicting the SAT and HS-GPA. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed as well.
