Bad Test Taker

I don’t eat right and don’t concentrate well. I know staying up is not healthy and is not good for test taking. Around the time it comes to a test I stay up and cram and I’m so tired I might just put down anything and not care if the answer is right or wrong. Not eating right can also hurt your chances to pass a test. With me I would be thinking about food rather than the actual test. Even though I would know about a test in advance, I would not study until the night before. Sometime it worked but mostly it didn’t. Basically it was like trying to beat the system and you know you can’t do that. Cheating is not an option because it’s morally wrong. I would not get anything out of it. I also wouldn’t like the consequence’s. For multiple choice, true/false, and short answer test’s some hints could be to actually study and review your notes. Make sure you’re healthy and not stressed. Another thing I could do is eat right and not

     There are different factors which affect one’s test score. Someone may get nervous when taking a test, causing him or her to score a lower grade, while on the other hand, someone who feels confident about the test will most likely achieve a higher grade. Also, someone may be better at memorizing, resulting in him or her answering more questions than those who are not capable to memorize things and therefore, not knowing the answers.

Don’t all students hate standardized tests. They waste lots of time and don’t influence your grade so then what’s the point of them. I think that students shouldn’t take standardized tests. First of all students take the test in May and don’t get the results until September so the test doesn’t do much. Lots of teachers also only teach to the test meaning they only prepare them to pass the test. Students might know the content but because of test anxiety they might not be able to show it on the test.

Standardized testing has been ruling over the lives of students, making or breaking them in their education without fair judgement. Tests like the SAT and the ACT count for way too much when applying to colleges, which in turn limits the student 's capabilities to thrive in an environment that would benefit them. There are many problems within a standardized test that deems them to be unreliable as a true test of knowledge. Although designed to test groups of students on intelligence, standardized testing neglects to fairly acknowledge the abilities of each unique student which reflect their true capabilities.

In my opinion I do not think standardized tests measures a student's learning accurately. I think this because there are students who are bright, smart, and have a high GPA, but when it comes to taking a test some students just break

Standardized tests are an unreliable measure of student performance. This is because students go by a certain curriculum in school, but the wording on the tests

          Test taking is one of the most important things to have good skills at. Test usually have a significant effect on your grade. The more you are used to test and are

In addition, these tests rates a student’s performance on simply one certain day and does not take into account outside factors. There are many kids who just don’t do good on tests. Many of these students understand the content and are intelligent, but it doesn’t appear on the test. Some students also develop test anxiety, which affects how well they

Standardized testing is a down fall to many students but also an opportunity for many others. Standardized testing has its pros and its cons. It can be the make it or break it factor into getting into colleges you are hoping to attend or the scholarships you want to earn. Some people may have their opinions about the test, whether they hate it or not but the fact is that it’s here to stay.

When you take a standardized test, you can show colleges what you are capable of. If you were taking a test that decided whether or not you went to your dream college, you would want to do the best you could, right? Showing what you can do on these tests are very important because it can determine whether or not you get into the school you want. Having said this, in order for you to show colleges what you can do, you have to do your best on the tests. Colleges use the test scores to award scholarships to students with a high enough score. Not only is your

Standardized tests do not asses skills when their questions are generalized for an entire population. Most of the time, the tests are not in conjunction with classroom skills and behavior. These tests asses for general knowledge and understanding of students rather that their actual abilities. Since the questions are general in nature, it becomes very difficult for teachers to know how to improve the students understanding of a particular subject based on just general information. This leads to teachers “teaching to test” rather than educating students in a proper way based on the real needs of the classroom. Another reason these tests do more bad than good is the fact that teachers actually have a test booklet instructing them on what to do if a student vomits during a test. Students study so hard for these tests and simply cannot handle the pressure. So in the end, their final scores reflect not their abilities, but the influences of their surrounding factors instead.

If someone was to ask you “how do you define student achievement?” what would your answer be? Would you say student achievement is measured by state achievement tests? Or would you say that student achievement is too complex a subject to be objectively measured? There are many important skills students must be taught, and we need a way to effectively measure if they are in fact learning those skills. However, standardized tests cannot effectively show the learning of all students, especially those that are not good test takers. And of those skills that are tested, there are an endless number of arguably more important skills that aren’t being valued because they cannot be calculated. Furthermore,

On standardized tests I do well because I consider myself capable of the things that are given to me by my teacher. I am a good test taker because I study before a test so that I can be prepared.. Why would I not know the answer to the test if that is what we study in school. I think that the teachers have already gave us the steps to answer the questions all we have to do is find the answers which I find easy to do if you are paying attention in class is you do what you are suppose to be doing. The way I prepare for standardized test is reviewing the work or topic that our teacher told us it was going to about. I do best on math questions but on reading you might have a different point of view on which sentence goes best and which sentence

One part of test day which can be challenging, is turning away test takers for incorrect or absent IDs, tardiness, or any other reason. Many CTCs offer these test takers a business card and ask them to call customer service, as advised. It is important however, that the test taker is aware that unless there are extenuating circumstances, they will be required to register for a new test, and will be responsible for the fees associated with this new registration. Please avoid language that suggests they may be transferred free of charge, or at a discounted cost.

Are you stressed out over standardized tests? Some say that the test are perfectly normal for the children. While others think that the children are too stressed over the tests. I believe that the standardized tests stress the students out too much because the children are too worried. I hope that when you are done reading this you will agree with me.
