Master Test Taking Skills
To fully prepare for standardized tests, it’s necessary to navigate three distinct phases:
- Understand the structure of the test.
This involves learning the layout and format of the test, understanding the different types of questions, and finally understanding the scoring and grading process. - Master the content within the structure.
Review the material: algebra, geometry, vocabulary, sentence completions, and reading comprehension. At ATS, we create strategies for each problem type and know how to approach every problem on the test. - Practice the test-taking skills to thrive in four hours (or longer if you qualify for extended-time) of pressured testing conditions.
This is often the most neglected phase of test preparation and one of the essentials of our proven, successful method. To succeed, there are structural qualities of the tests which require particular skills and strategies if students are to maintain focus throughout hours of mental exercising. To build endurance, test day must be practiced.
