Messages for test

Hello friends!
I �d like to receive some short messages for using in my tests. Something to encourage my students during and before the tests. I have just used this messages "Have a nice test" or "God bless you" or "Good luck" and now, I think it �s too boring, not motivated. I �d like sweet messages.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance, |

I usually write "Thank you" at the end of the test.
You can say:
- Best of luck for your test!
- Enjoy your test!
- Test your wits!
- You are a great student!
- Best luck from your teacher!
- Wishing you success with this test.

Another thing you could add is a little short piece of trivia on the topic of your test.
"Did you know that..."
You can also add a short joke or a special quotation. |

I like damielle �s post (used it for an English project even some time ago). I usually tell them Do your best! before the test, and afterwards my comments depend on the work and the kid, and I tend to write more comments on essays than tests - I write stuff like: You see - I knew you could do it!(if I have a very insecure child), Not bad, but I know you can do better(if it �s somebody who did way below their level), Keep up the great work or Thanks for making me proud(to someone who does really great), and sometimes some funny comment on the content or part fof it, or I add - I agree, sometimes I feel like that, too.
