Is There Another Way to Test People Like Me?

This paper offers the classroom teacher a positive answer for the test anxious student. The writer developed a group testing strategy which is concerned with ways students learn as well as subject matter testing. This evaluation strategy used successfully in high school and college classes is based on group work principles as applied in the classroom. This paper deals with group size, determination of group membership, and cohesive task centered groups. While this paper does not claim the test anxious student will eventually perform better on individual paper and pencil tests, the evidence suggests that students generally, improve test performance when group testing strategies are used.
