Joe, a conscientious, informed planner, always gets his reports in before they’re due. His presentations sound like commodities futures reports, and his audience looks half asleep. Frank, also a planner, hands in reports at the last minute, and they’re not always complete. But when he speaks, people listen. He sounds as though he knows what he’s talking about. Clearly, Frank has an edge when it comes to plum assignments and even promotion. His advantage is the ability to make highly effective presentations to public officials, citizens, peers, and businesses....

As was acknowledged by O’Loughlin and Arkoudis (2009), whose research has informed this current research, generalising from a small sample size is problematic (this one is even smaller than the 63 students in O’Loughlin and Arkoudis’s study). Nevertheless, taken together with these researchers’ findings, tendencies can be discerned. Because this current study was conducted using only results obtained after 1 July 2007, when half band scores were recorded for Writing and Speaking, some finer distinctions in score change can be observed. ...
