Watch now how we conduct tests and how to fill the Rank Test Sheet.

We, as instructors during a test cannot be against the students. We need to be in their side and do everything to help and push them forward. Especially brand new students. The factor that they are very nervous to something new and the pressure of being watched by their friends makes them forget and mix up things. They also understand that the test for the color belt will be much more difficult than that and the examination more severe. So, experiencing it for the first time makes them appreciate the information we share better and also makes them increase their efforts in the perspective of actually study our curriculum and master it.
We suggest you to hand the sheet back to every student in the next day and make them work together in groups of 3 to correct everybody's mistakes.

As you can see we keep the test in a fun environment. This is the Brazilian way :-)
