S ummary . The development of scales of motivation, study methods and examination technique is reported, together with evidence of test/retest reliability. Validity is inferred from correlations with the Brown‐Holtzman scales and with a criterion of academic performance obtained for 898 university students, 562 college of education students and 190 students in polytechnics and colleges of technology. Multiple correlation coefficients indicate improvements on A‐level grades through the use of these scales together with measures of academic aptitude and personality
