Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:

• Testing season doesn’t reward the schools that work the hardest at the last minute. It rewards the schools that get the clearest about what matters most.
• Testing Season Mistake #1: When you try to review everything, teachers prioritize differently, students get mixed signals, and nothing gets reinforced deeply enough to stick. More practice does not automatically mean more learning. 
• Most of what schools do during testing season actually undermines student performance. We think we're helping. We're not.
• Testing Season Mistake #2: Test prep fails when schools drill answers instead of strengthening thinking. If students can’t reason, more review won’t rescue them.
• Testing Season Mistake #3: Schools review content but forget to prepare students for the experience of the test itself.

Right now, schools everywhere are ramping up test prep, adding review sessions, and trying to make sure nothing slips through the cracks before testing begins.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three biggest mistakes I see schools make right before testing season and show you how these mistakes quietly undermine results even when everyone is working hard.

Plus, I’ll show you exactly what to do instead so your efforts actually pay off. You’ll hear a smarter, more strategic way to approach these final weeks so you and your students can go into this years’ tests with clarity and confidence because you’ve directed your team’s energy where it matters most #LikeABuilder.
