It aimed also at identifying aspects considered most relevant to obtain a good performance on tests, whose results were: "having paid attention in class" and "having studied for the exam", showing that instruments of evaluation do not always measure learning ("having learned the proposed content" carne in third place). "Feeling well physically" was pointed out as the most relevant among the items not related to the classroom situation, having strong relation to the educational environment.
