Test anxiety

Practice a helpful move for test anxiety.

Picture cards: Pause · Check the directions · Start one item

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Practice moving past one hard item if allowed. Say “I’ll mark it, start another, and come back.” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
