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!) Make sure your grading scale is balanced, don't make tests a huge percentage of the overall grade. I find this also takes some of the pressure and anxiety away
