First, deal with testing anxiety. As a public school teacher, I personally am not a fan of big, fat, scary TESTS. It gives me a lot of anxiety (I have thoughts like, who is going to pull out their phone halfway through and force me to give them a 0 and do a bunch of paperwork? Who is going to stress out and yell at everyone? (usually it me), Will all the laptops work? Did my students learn enough? etc.) I know this trickles down to the kids. It's funny because in the working world, tests are not how we determine how good someone is doing their job. But here we are, determining a students' worth on their test grades. Yikes! While it may seem silly, deal with your mental health FIRST. Here are a few videos on relaxation techniques. Second, make sure you know how to take multiple choice foreign language tests. Here are my simple rules for creating French 1 tests: 1. There is always an answer for something else later in the test. 2. There needs to be a reading section or two. 3. There needs to be verb conjugations. 4. There needs to be a listening section. 5. If the answer seems too obvious, it is. Look for another answer or work out the problem. 6. Approach conjugations like math. Do the work before choosing the correct answer. 7. PRACTICE. Multiple choice is tricky for foreign language because we always aim for communication over "correctness." Make sure you know your vocab and grammar. Third, study your vocabulary from the year. Last, practice taking an actual multiple choice test. Throughout the year, we have had some practice taking French multiple choice tests, however, students think it's too easy or too hard and click through. We have a few online options for practicing multiple choice tests below.
