I'm not TAing bc my program doesnt offer that, but my prof hired me as a marker for her third year psychology class cuz it's small and she didnt get a TA. They bombed the first test and my prof had me try all sorts of things to boost the average (like leave out the matching section, mark it out of 55 not 60, etc) but their average still sucked. I suggested that they simply dont know how to take tests - on the short answer section, there was so much rambling and attempts to throw in any information possible that it was clear they just dont know what a test question like that is looking for or what knowledge is valuable in those instances.
What brought me to psychology was exactly this - learning how to learn, how to think about learning and knowledge, and how to game school using cognitive tricks to manipulate information as usefully as possible lol to be quite honest. It paid off extremely well too and I've got the receipts. I saw her post study techniques on the course website, but I think they need more than that so I offered today to help her out with this whole test debacle/preparation for next time bc I love teaching people how to learn. She wrote back that she "loves that idea" and so fingers crossed I get to host a workshop for her class on how to write tests!
