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!) Create the test format the exact way as you do with all the other assignments that they seem to be doing well on. Having your test in a test format, creates the test anxiety and low test scores.
