Ooops! Here is the reference I noted if anyone is interested:
Roediger, H. L., & Karpicke, J. D. (2006). Test-enhanced learning: Taking
memory tests improves long-term retention. __Psychological Science,__17,

Thanks for the clarification Annette. I also have started developing ways for
psych majors to retake some of the exams, or variations of them. Frequent
testing, apparently (See Roediger & Karpicke, 2006) does have some learning
advantages. I am often telling students to develop or take self-tests as they
prepare for major exams. Most do not, so I am thinking of working up some
shorter recall tests/quizzes to promote the idea in the larger classes.
