Resumen Los examenes estandarizados son una forma de evaluacion formativa que permite a las instituciones obtener informacion para diferenciar y medir el proceso de aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, los docentes frecuentemente optan por preparar unicamente para el examen a traves de una serie de simulacros, estrategias para pruebas estandarizadas y analisis de preguntas. TOP10 Inspectors es una innovacion pedagogica en forma de juego de mesa que le permite al docente desarrollar habilidades comunicativas, trabajar procesos de pensamiento y fortalecer la motivacion estudiantil hacia su propio aprendizaje. Este articulo explica como el juego esta compuesto y los resultados obtenidos al preparar a los estudiantes para un examen de suficiencia en ingles. Palabras claves: Motivacion, Aprendizaje basado en tareas, habilidades de pensamiento y retroalimentacion. Abstract Standardized tests are considered a formative assessment that provide schools with the data needed to differentiate and work effectively on the learning process of the students. However, teachers frequently opt for preparing explicitly for the test by having the students sitting several mock exams, giving tips, and analyzing questions.

This article explains how the game is set up and the results obtained when implementing it for the preparation of an English Proficiency Test. Keywords: Motivation, Task Based Learning, HOTS, and feedback..
