Teacher tips

10 tips

  1. Test what you taught. Only include chapters and topics covered in class.
  2. Mix question types. MCQs check recall; short and long questions check understanding.
  3. Balance difficulty. Roughly a third easy, a third medium and a third challenging.
  4. Cover every selected chapter. Do not let one chapter dominate.
  5. Write clear instructions. State how many questions to attempt in each section.
  6. Match marks to effort. A long question deserves more marks than a definition.
  7. Fit the time. Students should finish with a few minutes to check.
  8. Use the board pattern. Familiar layouts reduce exam stress.
  9. Prepare the key first. It reveals ambiguous questions before students see them.
  10. Review after checking. Questions most students missed show what to reteach.
