Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Name the things that need to be ready before a test: materials packed, a full night's sleep and a healthy breakfast

  • Apply a pacing routine during a test — read instructions carefully, skip a stalled question and return to it, watch the time limit, then check every answer before finishing

  • Use named calming strategies when anxious — deep breathing, focusing on their own paper, and not comparing themselves with classmates

Teaching tips

  • The read-me page recommends printing, laminating and attaching with Blu-tack or Plasti-Tac, so the same set survives repeated testing seasons

  • Tips fall into three natural groups — before the test, during the test, and after it — so a board can be built in that order and read left to right

  • Several posters are about nerves rather than technique; pulling those out for a separate calm corner keeps the strategy board focused

Skills covered

  • Test-taking strategy display — teachers print and mount twenty single-tip posters covering instructions, pacing, guessing and answer checking for a testing-season bulletin board.

  • Time management during assessment — three separate posters tell students to watch the time limit, avoid spending too long on one question and allocate time according to how the test is scored.

  • Classroom display assembly — the setup page walks the teacher through printer settings, laminating and mounting so the posters print and hang as designed.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What sizes can each poster be printed at?

Three, all portrait: 8.5 x 11 inches, 5 x 7 inches, and A4 at 8.25 x 11.75 inches. The same tips appear in each size, so a room can mix a large board with small desk cards.

Do the tips cover only the test itself, or the days around it too?

Both. One poster covers the night before — materials ready, a good night's sleep, a healthy breakfast — most cover behaviour during the test, and the final poster is about afterwards: celebrate the effort regardless of the outcome, because tests are only one way to measure progress.

How are the posters meant to be prepared for a bulletin board?

Print them, laminate for durability, then attach to the wall with Blu-tack or Plasti-Tac. The same page suggests framing selected posters for a teacher desk or wall instead of mounting the whole set.
