Test Anxiety in Kids: Practice Where Nothing Counts

If your kid freezes up on tests, practice where nothing counts can take some of the pressure off.

A practice quiz at home has no grade. A wrong answer just shows the right one. And the more questions like these they have answered, the more familiar the real test feels.

Snap the pages the test covers. Here, a chapter on volcanoes.

Set the age in the info menu. Eleven for this one.

Add the photos,

and generate.

Let them go through it at their own pace. There's no timer, and nobody is watching the score.

A wrong answer isn't a failure here. It shows the right one, and why.

Then tap Retry, and they get only the ones they missed.

Options shuffled, so they really have to know it.

They finish on all correct. That is a good feeling to take into the real test.

And if the worry is bigger than a test or two, it's worth talking to their teacher or the school counselor.
