The most reliable route to exam success is repeated practice with content-rich exam papers. This J277 course solves the two problems that attend exam practice: your time and your students' time.
all 1-4 mark answers are auto-marked; teachers' time is freed up to actually teach.
formative feedback is built in at every stage. The focus is on learning first, assessment second.
Assign the practice exam papers to get an overview of each student's strengths and weaknesses.
Use the Gap Analysis to immediately see where additional work is needed.
Assign Topic Quizzes to both reveal and fill gaps in specific key concepts.
Use it as a diagnostic tool from the very start of teaching the course. This is not a last-minute panic revision tool.
Make use of the feedback!
Both teachers and students can review short-text responses in the context of their scoring rubrics. Encourage students to use these to eliminate specific weaknesses and misconceptions.
Teachers should also review their students' peer feedback to multiple-choice questions. Because they are written student-to-student, these reveal a lot about students' true perceptions.
Repeat the assessments
Each of these assessments is intended to be assigned multiple times. Because the questions are randomly drawn from a large bank, students know they will meet some questions more than once. This is the essential motivation to them to pay attention to feedback. Research shows that the mere expectation of multiple attempts boosts retention.
