Tests can be more than measurement tools — they can provide valuable retrieval practice. They exercise people's minds to learn and use new material. A recent study found retrieval practice can even produce more learning than techniques such as concept maps. But knowing the extra benefit of testing doesn't help educators and trainers with the motivational problem that most people dislike taking tests. That's where retrieval practice games can really help.
"Game Show Presenter has really helped my students. Their tests have improved, and it's a great motivator as well."
— Tonya W. (Educator)
