The purpose of an exam wrapper is to foster metacognitive reflection before and after practice exam papers or practice exam sections. Research indicates that using exam wrappers is an effective way to increase student achievement and make their engagement with practice assessments more productive.

This download includes a selection of five exam-wrappers. They are editable, double-sided, colour A4 printables: please see the preview images above to get a sense of their quality. Simply print them off and give them to students before they take practice exam papers/sections: they should complete one side before the assessment and one side once they have finished.

They are suitable for teachers of any subject that leads to formal assessment (i.e. any secondary exam subject) and perfect for students aged 14-18.

All our resources include a whole-school license (for up to fifty users) so you can share this with the other teachers in your school!
