Explain how the testing works: At the end of each day for the
first 3 days, there will be a 20-minute test on that day’s
material. If a student scores 80% or above on that test, s/he will
be excused from taking the Exit Exam sections tested. For
example, if the student passes the end-of-day test on day 3 with
80% or better, s/he will not have to take the Exit Exam sections
on those topics. This essentially provides them with 2 chances
to pass each section, but it’s important that they shoot for
passing the first time!
Everyone will take the Building Codes and Construction
Communication sections of the Exit Exam on the last day.

Each review day, except the last, follows the same pattern: review
games interspersed with Work Team review time, with the end-of-day
test during the last 20 minutes. Ask the students what their preferred
mix of games and review time might be and what games they might
include. Games and learning activities you might use include:
• Blank tool wall game
• Eminem math and measurement raps
• Construction cards
• First Down
• Darts
• Name that…

(7:30 – 11:30) - 8
Let the students plan the rest of the day by
minutes, leaving 20 minutes at the end for the test.
Be sure to include a snack break. That should leave
about 3 hours and 15 minutes to plan. Write down
their activity/study plan on the board, by minutes.
Approximately 3 hours and 15 min: Prepare the
games students have chosen and circulate to ensure
that all Teams are on task during study times.
Provide time updates aloud every 15 minutes to
assist in time management.
