  Case: Students who struggle on test
During instruction and formative assessments, students seem to understand the content that I am teaching. They answer questions correctly, they complete work correctly and work well with their group members. However, when test time comes around, a great deal of students do not perform as well. I sometimes believe they have test anxiety. Some of the ones who score poorly on the test are ones who scored well on formative assessments. Any advice?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Coming from someone who most certainly struggles with testing anxiety i can assure you this is a real problem. If the student needs an accommodation or has IEP plan i would encourage you take look into what you can do. Either extra time, or a verbal test too. You want to make sure this is approved before you go further though.

Comments: This is a good solution if approved by administration for a student on a personal bases, I believe developing an IEP will benefit some students with really bad anxiety, disorders, or disabilities when taking test, some students need these extra accommodations to be successful.
