"Have students create the answer responses to a question stem, thinking carefully about "wrong" answers and finding the right language to construct the "correct" response."
"Have students construct the question based on the answer responses."
"Have students answer one multiple-choice, standardized test type of question to see if they grasped an idea covered in class."
"Give the class a mixed up practice test, with the questions scrambled and in no apparent order of difficulty. Have teams of students re-order the questions, moving from easiest to hardest, being prepared to explain and defend why a certain question was easy or difficult."
"Have students debate the merits of the wording of a particular question to find flaws, bias or shortcomings and then rewrite the question with more careful wording."
Taking a test is like baking a cake, there are steps that need to take place before you get the final product, or answer
This can be the case for playing a new video game or building a model--there are steps in the process
Have students make a list of what steps need to happen before they get the final cake or move to the next level in a video game or put the finishing touch a model airplane
Remember, if you miss a step, the cake will not be good or you won't get to the next level or the model will fall apart
Now, have students make a list of ALL of the steps it takes to study for math or ELA or any other subject
