7. LEARNING STRATEGIES
SCORER is a strategy that helps you do better
on tests and quizzes by assisting
you to use your knowledge and test time more
effectively to obtain
the highest mark possible. Tests and quizzes give
you the opportunity to respond to questions with
information that you know. Your mark on a test gives
you feedback in
two areas:
1. How much you know about the questions on the
test (content).
2. How effectively you can write tests (test taking
skills)..

are what kept me involved when I
was at school. And these very things,
that make a teacher’s and a student’s
job easier and more rewarding, are
what’s been cut from curriculum
across the country.” Tom Chapin.
So, let’s song!
