I looked over my message and with regard to test materials want to change it
to the following: If the pretest materials easy the student will do well and
if the post test materials are harder, the student might do poorly, thus
leading to a zero or negative gain score, not because of conditions within
the students but because of an artifact created by the materials, leading to
an experimental error.
