This has happened to all of us! But sometimes it may not be the case that you know more than the students you help; some students can focus their questions directly on what they don't know. Or perhaps, they were simply lucky on the test, in which case their understanding probably will not carry them very far. Actually on tests, teachers are testing on a basic level, so be sure you are secure about certain classic, basic types of problems. A review sheet will help.
