Interventions for Low Test/Quiz Grades
- Allow the student to demonstrate mastery of skills/content through non-traditional means (e.g. verbal response, simulations, etc)
- Have the student complete a study guide prior to taking tests/quizzes
- Have the student complete a sample test/quiz before taking the actual test/quiz
- Arrange a time for the student to study with a peer tutor before taking tests/quizzes
- Allow the student to take the test/quiz in a quiet place in order to reduce distractions (e.g. study carrel, library, etc)
- Provide the student with an alternate version of an objective test/quiz which limits choice options (e.g. eliminate "none of the above" and "all of the above", breakdown matching sections into smaller sets, etc)
- Provide the student with modified instructions that include more concrete examples
- Provide a scribe for written answers
- Allow tests to be taken in sections/chucks
- Allow the student extra time to complete tests/quizzes
- Model how to study for tests
- Give shorter tests/quizzes but give them more frequently
- Ask the student to research test taking strategies and practice them
