An exam wrapper (A.K.A. Cognitive Wrapper) is a worksheet that allows for before and after reflections when students are taking practice exam papers or undergoing assessments. This exam wrapper is suitable for all subjects and is a fantastic way to improve the value and usefulness of practice assessments.
Please see the attached preview files to see the high quality of these double-sided, colour, fully-editable, exam wrappers.
Exam wrappers foster metacognition in students (i.e. getting to think about how they learn best and what factors are influencing their academic performance) - exam wrappers are frequently cited by researchers as an example of effective metacognition in schools.
It is widely accepted that the use of exam wrappers is “best practice”: yet there are very few available online, and those that exist are often for university students and not suitable for younger people. This wrapper is designed for students aged 14-18 (KS4 & KS5) - and is designed to be fast, fun, and engaging.
This download comprises one of five exam wrappers, you can buy all five versions in our bundle (linked below) and save money by doing so: using a variety of exam wrappers will help students to engage in a broader array of metacognitive reflection activities.

This download contains ten ICT Suite (Computer Room) learning sessions that are suitable for 1-hour teaching periods: they can be used by teachers of any subject working with students aged 11-16. Each session is a fully-resourced ‘zero prep’ lesson that encourages a high degree of learning autonomy and independence.
We’ve taken a tried and tested lesson structure and connected it to our specialist topics: metacognition and self-regulated learning. Using a worksheet for guidance (and eventually peer-assessment) students spend the first 35-40 minutes of the lesson creating a presentation and the remainder of the session showing it to their peers and assessing one another’s work.
The download includes PowerPoint instructions as well as a set of ten different worksheets which refer to different aspects of metacognition and self-regulated learning: five of the worksheets are teachers who wish for students to work in pairs and the other five are for solo work. The worksheets include a number of different topics for students to choose from – we wanted to bring autonomous learning into the design of this product and providing learners with options in these sessions is a way of empowering greater levels of autonomy.
Aside from exploring important pedagogical topics (such as metacognition, independent learning, study skills, revision strategies and self-regulated learning) the presentations encourage students to connect these concepts to their own learning journeys: thus fostering metacognitive awareness and metacognitive knowledge. Aside from fostering these self-regulation and metacognitive skills, this approach to learning also helps to develop research skills, technical skills in relation to presentation design, and presentation delivery skills.
The topics covered by the different worksheets are as follows:
Metacognition (Solo Work)
‘How to Boost Learning in This Subject’(Solo Work)
Revision Techniques & Revision Strategies (Solo Work)
‘Understanding How I Learn Best’ (Solo Work)
‘Boosting My Learning Power’ (Solo Work)
‘How To Succeed in This Subject’ (Paired Work)
Being An Independent Learner (Paired Work)
Revision Resources, Tips & Tricks (Paired Work)
Metacognition & Self-Regulated Learning (Paired Work)
Studying Skills (Paired Work)
Some of the worksheets refer to subject specific reflections (e.g. #2) whilst others refer to more general metacognitive reflections and knowledge (e.g. #9).
The worksheets include an integrated self-assessment system. Each worksheet uses the same basic structure and design, the worksheets cover different topics/options and can be used over time so that students improve each time they engage with the process. Since the worksheets (and PowerPoint files) are editable teachers can adjust contents to more precisely meet their students’ needs.
This assessment wrapper is suitable for teachers of all subjects and is especially useful when doing practice exam papers.
The assessment wrapper is delivered via PowerPoint and features fifty metacognition and self-regulated learning activity slides; twenty-five that can be used before assessments and twenty-five that can be used after assessments. It also features an interactive ‘randomiser’ feature so that teachers can quickly load up the PowerPoint and generate random reflection tasks for the start and end of lessons.
Simply load up this PowerPoint when you’re doing assessment work with students: it will foster metacognition through its many pre and post-assessment student reflection tasks. Assessment wrappers are a straightforward way to foster metacognition and one of the most established and well-evidenced approaches to metacognition borne out by the research literature.
Alternatively, this assessment wrapper (with over fifty activity slides) can be used by teachers to enhance presentations they have already made: teachers can simply copy and paste slides from this resource into their own work – allowing for a more precise and integrated assessment wrapper effect to be used in the learning process.
This assessment wrapper (or exam wrapper) is of particular interest to teachers working with students who are preparing for formal examinations (e.g. GCSE exams) and is a great way to help them get more out of practice assessments!
This metacognition teaching resource serves two primary functions:
To teach students how to use the metacognitive cycle (planning, monitoring, evaluating and regulating) in relation to essay-writing: developing essay-writing skills
To use essay-writing tasks as a way to encourage metacognitive reflection and help students gain metacognitive knowledge: developing metacognitive and self-regulated learning skills
The download includes an interactive PowerPoint presentation that can be used for multiple (x12) one-hour learning sessions as well as an accompanying information sheet about using metacognitive strategies for essay writing.
The learning sessions guide students through the essay writing process and dedicate time to planning, monitoring, evaluating and regulating the essay writing process. Twelve metacognitive/ self-regulated learning reflection topic options are provided with hints as to what students might want to include in their essays. The topics are:
Building On My Strengths & Weaknesses in This Subject
Effective Revision & Exam Preparation Strategies
How To Learn More During Lessons
How My Behaviour Impacts My Learning & My Rate of Progress
How Do My Emotions, Moods & Attitudes Impact My Learning?
Metacognition, Self-Regulation & Independent Learning in This Subject
What Could I Do Differently In Order to Maximise Learning?
How To Boost My Learning Power
The Ideal State of Mind for Learning & How I Can Cultivate It
My Obstacles to Learning & How I Plan To Overcome Them
Factors That Influence My Ability to Learn and Remember Learning
What Approach to Learning Works Best For Me
Essay topics 1-6 are subject-specific and can be used by teachers of any subject to foster metacognition and lead students towards metacognitive knowledge their particular school subject whilst essay topics 6-12 are general metacognitive reflection rubrics.
Aside from metacognition and self-regulated learning, we hope to work with educators towards building greater levels of learner autonomy in students: to this end the essay-writing session instructions also guide students towards developing their own assessment criteria that they (at the end of each session) will use to evaluate their own work. This approach ties in neatly with the ‘planning’ stage of the metacognitive cycle and helps students to consider the task requirements before engaging with it.
Teacher instructions are included (integrated into the PowerPoint file), the general lesson plan when using this tool is as follows:
Introduction/Lesson Objectives
Assessment Criteria Creation
Essay Planning Stage
Essay Writing Task (With Monitoring Break)
Evaluation Stage
Regulation & Target Setting Stage
The resource will help students to cultivate essay-writing skills whilst fostering metacognitive reflection: steering students towards metacognitive knowledge about their own learning processes and how to improve them.
