A piece of text which I gave to Yr7 students before handing back tests.

It is 6 repeated paragraphs on one page which i printed and gave to students which reads: "Tests do not define us. In years to come you will not remember all the tests you have taken, the levels you gained, or the questions you got wrong. More important is what you do with your tests. Do you do well and not look at the questions you didn’t do well in? Do you do poorly and be happy not to know what you didn’t do well in? A wise person is not wise because of the things they know, instead they know what they don’t know and take steps to better understand. How we react to positives and problems in our lives does define us as real life presents us with many challenges and rewards. Tests do not define us. "
