The 2018/2019 school year is nearly over and some students are even saying that it is going by way too quickly, but, the school year isn’t over yet. The last three weeks of May, the students from grades six through eight will be taking their end-of-year assessments(“EOCS”)in each of their classes including social studies.
Over the past few years, students test scores have been degrading all around the world. According to gradepowerlearning.com it states that, “...the problem with poor grades is that it all leads to ineffective study habits which all comes down to the fact that kids today can get distracted very easily.” This website also states some other issues that these students could be going through, which is the lack of communication, the lack of confidence and the lack of preparation.
“Studies have shown that students who are tested regularly actually learn more content and retain it longer than students who have not been tested.”, says Princetonreview.com.
I do also have a few test taking tips that could possibly help students get a better score in the future. They are:
1.Try to think like your teacher
2.Study every day
3.Try to tune out all the distractions around you and just stay in the moment
When taking these tests be strong and never give up.
The school EOCS are set to take place on the week of 5-6-19.
