New Theory of Action on Improving Test Scores

Students took a test today that they bombed. Or really it was that there was no improvement from their previous attempt at demonstrating mastery of this material.

Problem(s): Low test scores. Does this necessarily mean they haven't mastered the material? Not guaranteed, but on the standard format assessment that mirrors what they will be faced with on the SAT II's, it didn't go well.

Issues:

• Poor test prep
• Bad test taking skills
• Not enough feedback on progress

Solutions:

• Create test earlier and feed questions intermittently so that they have access to the type and structure of desired questions.
