Tips for helping a student who can ace questions in class and on homework assignments but fails or scapes by on every test? Parents had the student evaluated for anxiety and adhd with no real results. Student says they just "don't like" taking doing tests or quizzes and I'm not sure how to help when I know they know the material.

Have you tried chunking the test? Maybe have the student do one page at a time, turn that page in, take a small break, and then get the next page?

Have them come in at lunch and ask them the questions and let them respond orally

It may seem unfair, but maybe try letting them take the quiz/test over lunch break or a free period to see if being around others is the issue? Otherwise I'm not sure, obviously they can't just be excused from every test.

I allow my students to take assessments twice. Way less anxiety.

Does anyone actually wake up refreshed and if so can you share your secrets? It doesn’t matter how much or how little sleep I get I wake up feeling like I got hit by a train. I run 3-4x per week and have lost ~20lbs in the past few months so I should be getting enough vitamin D and have a healthy diet. Don’t drink coffee or other caffeine (unless herbal tea on occasion counts). I wear an eye mask to block out light. Tried melatonin but it gave me nightmares. I feel like I’m losing hope on sleep
