Mind The Test

Key Takeaways

Episode Description

In this episode, Anna Moss, founder of Mind the Test, reveals why she starts with diagnostic tests to create genuine student motivation rather than jumping into curriculum. Drawing from her linguistics research on test bias, she challenges the minimal homework trend by assigning up to three hours weekly while maintaining high completion rates through personalized resources. Anna explains her method for distinguishing real skill gaps from testing mistakes, discusses how Desmos has eliminated her use of the quadratic formula, and addresses why most "careless errors" actually signal content overwhelm. She also shares her AI experiments for generating practice content and explains why tutor-student chemistry ultimately matters more than credentials when parents choose test prep support.
