About 5 years ago it got so bad that almost 1/3 of the class "couldn't make it" on exam day. I had had enough, and began my new policy: No Makeup. So if you miss a test, and have a documented excuse (family emergency, illness, etc.), the points will be transferred to the final exam. So a final that is worth 150 is now worth 250 for you.
If you miss a test without a verified excuse, you get a 0. And of course, if you know you are going to be absent, you can always take the test early.
As you probably guessed, No Makeup solved my problem. After the policy was implemented, everyone seemed to be able to make it to class for the tests.
