Abstract
Abstract The study addresses the association between coaching practices and university admission test performance in Chile. Estimates of coaching effects are reported for test-takers from the private and public school systems. Our results indicate that coaching is associated with variations in test scores. The estimated magnitude of coaching appears to vary by subject area, type of coaching strategy and type of high school attended.
