As the teacher grades a test, she notes down the toughest few questions (3, 5, 10, whatever). Before

handing back the graded tests to the class, the teacher shares which questions were the toughest and gives the

class time, in groups, to rework those questions together.

1 the toughest few

Students trained to prepare for tests by generating then answering their own questions outperform

comparable groups who prepare in conventional ways.

2 creating test questions

Use the ‘find it and fix it’ technique (eg you have three answers correct out of five, find

the wrong answers and correct them).

3 find & fix

Grade a formative quiz normatively using +, –, √

4 plus-minus-check
