Why it matters
Testing logistics confuse students every year
Schedules shift, phones have to be turned in and some students report to different rooms. The details go out in an email that students skim. Confusion on the morning of a test costs time the school can’t get back.

Testing Week Reminders, step by step.
Three steps
Add each testing day’s slides
Type quick announcements for the phone policy and quiet halls, and add the schedule as an image or PDF.
Tie them to the testing calendar
Give every slide a start and end that matches its testing day, so the right schedule plays each morning.
Pause the regular rotation
Hide items that don’t fit the mood, like game promotions, during testing week and bring them back afterward.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Testing Week Reminders tips
Keep the tone calm
Testing is stressful enough. Skip ticking clocks and alarm colors.
Show the schedule the day before
Students plan their morning the night before. A preview slide the afternoon before testing helps.
Work with the test coordinator
Have the school testing coordinator approve every slide. Details like room changes come from them.
Ask about screens near testing rooms
Check with your test coordinator whether a screen beside a testing room should stay on during sessions, and plan around the answer.
