By Principal Margaret Taranto
As we begin our mid-term exam season, I want to reflect on the academic, pedagogical, and emotional benefits of the exam process, and the opportunities for student growth this process fosters.
The exam review process enhances knowledge retention and memory. The process of reviewing and actively retrieving information strengthens neural pathways which make it easier to retrieve that information in the future. It also allows the information to transfer from long-term to short-term memory. The exam review process also encourages students to organize and synthesize information more coherently and see links between different topics and themes.
