At this point in the semester you can help students by distributing sample questions to give them an idea of the types of questions that you will use. Review the thought processes behind the types of questions so that students understand how best to reason and solve the questions. The reason behind reviewing such information with students is that it allows them to see that the assessment tool is fair. When students believe that assessment is fair, their anxiety levels decline.
