I attended a course a few weeks ago about how to tailor our students’ needs and abilities when preparing a test, and this suggestion caught my interest. The test is displayed on a tic-tac-toe board, so it contains nine exercises, but each student will choose just three exercises to solve following a tic-tac-toe pattern. The only compulsory exercise is the one right in the middle and then they can choose the other two that they find easier or suitable for their own abilities. My personal experience is that even though it ends up being a simple test, it needs time so students have the possibility to choose carefully.
