There are many people who believe that the tests provide an accurate measurement of student performance and the effectiveness of the teacher. But others believe that a single test on a single day cannot consistently determine these things and that the practice of these tests are extremely overused. So the question is, does standardized testing

Results from experiment one indicated that response latency times rised systematically as the questions necessitated deeper levels of processing—semantic as opposed to structural questions of the word (Craik & Tulving, 1975). Performance on the retention test increased significantly, from below 20% recognized for questions concerning structural characteristics to 96% for sentence questions (Craik & Tulving, 1975). The results have thus shown that different questions requiring different encoding strategies

Test-Taking Strategies For 10 years, I was the one testing the students, teaching strategies and finding new ones to help students study. Suddenly, I found myself returning to school and the anxiety, stress, lack of time, and just all the unknowns seemed to overwhelm my life.

Posttest, & Interview Questions: The pre-test (Show What You Know) and post-test (Show What You Have Learned) that I designed had similar questions to what the students were going to see within the lesson. When giving them the pre-test a few students got neverous but I assured them that this is for my own information so I can better teach everyone. I told them to all at least try and answer the questions to the best of their ability. Both the pre-test and post-test are attached at the end of the lesson

I consider myself a poor test taker. This is not because of anxiety or not studying all of the material, but because I find myself making wrong decisions on challenging tests. Decisions such as leaving a question blank when short on time or second guessing myself to the wrong answer have resulted in me scoring lower on a test. I recognize my testing mistakes and I have greatly improved over the years. The problem with the tests that I have taken is that I was never taught how to effectively take
