Summary
In-class exams have the power to make even the most dedicated of students quake with fear, not to mention the damage they can do to the egos of struggling learners.
For some students, the stress causes their minds to go blank, while others experience physical symptoms like headaches and nausea.
Around 40 percent of students regularly report experiencing moderate to severe anxiety over tests.
Even elementary school students can struggle with fear and performance anxiety on standardized tests.
One method getting a lot of attention is gamification, which involves incorporating elements of game playing, such as establishing ground rules, scorekeeping, and engaging in friendly competition with other students.
Recent studies have shown that gamification in education can increase assessment scores by nearly 15 percent.
