Once I give a Summative assessment they fail or score lower than they do on their formative assessments. I have even tried to include some of the same questions on my summative assessments that I used on my formative assessments and they still fail. What can I do to ensure overall success? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) One thing I have found to be helpful are study guides or review handouts. These help remind students to study and give them an idea of how to study for an assessment. Additionally, on the day of assessment I perform a very quick review of the content which is about to be assessed and check for any last minute questions prior to issuing the assessment.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with this solution.
