What Are Mock Exams?

1. Mindfulness Beginnings: Students engage in a mindfulness exercise to emphasize the importance of breathing to manage exam anxiety

2. Full-Length Exam: Students complete a full length ‘mock’ exam emulating the material they’ll be expected to cover in their upcoming exam.

3. Marking & Solutions: Students are encouraged to mark their own exams with detailed solutions provided to ensure students understand their mistakes and learn from them. These are sent home with students including their completed exam.

4. Celebration of Success: Upon completing the exam, each student receives a celebration cookie, to signify that Process Grade matters most.

Celebrating Process Grades.

Success in math education is about more than the final grade—it’s about the skills, resilience, and understanding students develop through the process. Process grades capture the journey of learning, emphasizing effort, growth, and mastery over time. Mock exams embody this philosophy by focusing on preparation, feedback, and self-reflection, teaching students that progress matters more than perfection.
