Let’s Chat about Pre-Tests for the new School Year! 📝 🌟
Pre-tests are an amazing, yet often overlooked, tool to help our students get comfy with exams and reduce test anxiety. Plus, they give us a sneak peek into what our students already know and where they might need a bit more help.

My set of math pre-tests cover last year’s standards and are digital and self-checking – no prep at all! Each question is clearly marked with the standard for you to quickly gauge areas of need. Use them the first week of school to set a baseline and put your student’s brains in “math mode” 💭 😆
