Answer: The independent variable is the form of review. Dependent variable is the scores.

Explanation:

An independent variable is used for testing the dependent variable.

The dependent variable is 'dependent' on the independent one and it is being tested in experiments while the independent variable is changed and manipulated in an experiment. In this case, the dependent variable is the scores of the exam and the independent variable is the form of a review of two groups that she was testing.
