In our discussion of impact of this chapter, the suggestion was made that teachers can
prepare students for tests by offering them strategies for preparing, taking, and
benefiting from tests. These might be categorized as ‘’before, during, and after’’
strategies. ‘’Before’’ strategies could include giving information about what to expect
and suggestions for how to review. ‘’During’’ strategies might involve tips for tackling
items and time management. ‘’After’’ strategies, such as learning from one’s mistakes
and setting future goals, could also benefit students. In a small group, design a checklist
of test-taking strategies, perhaps with each group tackling just one of the three
categories. Report your checklist back to the class.
