testwise

adj. describing a test taker who has developed skills and strategies that are not related to the construct being measured on the test but that facilitate an increased test score. Experience with similar tests, coaching, or the ability to respond advantageously to items that contain extraneous clues and suggestions may yield a score that is higher than the true ability of the test taker.
