About this resource
Test taking strategies for middle school: six step posters, a student checklist, before- and after-test reflections, a study plan, bookmarks to cut, and self-talk cards. 24 pages for grades 6 to 8. Type in any PDF reader, or print and write by hand.
EVERYTHING INSIDE (24 pages)
- 6 step posters, one per strategy: read the directions, read the whole question, find the key words, cross out wrong answers, skip and return, check your work. Each has three plain steps and a made-up sample question. No acronyms to memorize.
- A strategy checklist for 4 tests, so a student can see which steps they actually used.
- A Before the Test reflection with 4 drawn faces (Ready, Okay, Nervous, Worried), 5 get-ready checks and short writing lines.
- An After the Test reflection: which of the 6 strategies I used, what worked, what was tricky, next time.
- A 5-day study plan.
- 12 bookmarks to cut apart: 6 strategy bookmarks and 6 stay-calm bookmarks, edge to edge in two rows.
- 16 self-talk cards to cut apart: 8 written and 8 blank for students to write their own.
- A note to my teacher (a student asks for help before a test) and a Note Home: Test Week for families.
- A test tracker with 12 rows, and 2 filled examples with an invented student: an after-test reflection and a tracker whose totals are added from its own rows.
- A bank of 20 reflection starters in 5 groups.
- A binder cover, a spine label and 4 divider labels.
- Start Here, the terms of use and a thank-you page.
Written For Grades 6 To 8
Plain, short sentences. Nothing babyish, and no state-test names. The student pages carry a "My name" line, one short instruction and big writing lines.
Type In, Or Print
Every name and date line, writing line and table cell is a type-in field. In a check column, type an X or print the page and check it by hand. Lines are black or gray, so pages copy in black and white. This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides or PowerPoint file.
Who This Is For
Classroom teachers, special education teachers, counselors and case managers who teach study habits. Your school decides everything about testing and accommodations; these pages are working paper.
What This Is, And What It Is Not
It is a set of habits around a test. It is not a practice test, an answer key or a score sheet, and it gives no clinical or testing-accommodation advice. The example student is invented and labeled that way on the page.
