What not to do when giving a test

What not to do when giving a test.

Lesson No 1.  Check that all of the options make sense and you have the correct answers for multiple choice questions.  Don’t just hope and pray.

Lesson No 2.  When you ask them to make a rule for number pattern, make sure that there is one that fits the data and their knowledge levels.

Lesson No 3.  When printing a test double sided which have the answers at the bottom of the document, make sure that the you first make sure you don’t print the answers as well, and the make it impossible to remove the answers from the test.

Lesson No 4.  Check. Recheck. Double check.

Lesson No 5.  Some kids don’t listen no matter what, and even when you get them to change an answer so that it makes sense for the pattern, some kids still choose the wrong answer.

And yes, I did all that and more today.  But at least it wasn’t as bad as the NAPLAN tests where the answer to the sample question was wrong when publish on a national basis…
