Getting ready for test week - a teacher's POV

I think I sometimes get more nervous for my students than they are for themselves. I don't like tests much because the results can be skewed by a student's physical, or emotional condition on the day of the test. The only solution is to be prepared as much as possible, and be confident. Confidence can be a much a factor as preparedness, so you need to psych yourself up and convince yourself that you know what is going to be required. As a teacher, I try to keep the atmosphere light during the exam, but I feel the pressure of the time requirements too. The main thing for my students to know is that I want them to pass - maybe even more than they do.
