Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Each lesson will demonstrate 2-3 test-taking strategies in an interactive, discussion-based atmosphere. Learners will lead class discussions while making connections to the subject matter. The information will be delivered through instructional talks, open-ended questions, and fun-inclusive games. By best practice, learners will gain test-taking strategies to prepare them for the ISEE, HSPT, ACT, SAT, TOEFL, etc.

🎓 This course is perfect for learners who want to improve their study and test preparation, time management, and organization skills to develop greater confidence in their ability to effectively apply their test-taking strategies. Learners may join the journey toward test-taking mastery at any time, pause when they need to, and resume the course again!

😁🖱🖌️💻🔌 We'll meet weekly for fun and interactive classes where we'll complete activities to help us understand and apply our weekly test-taking strategies. By the end of each class, learners will demonstrate their acquired knowledge for each strategy learned, and by the end of the course, in a final review game.

♻️The topics will cycle back to the beginning of every 6 weeks and do not occur in sequential curriculum order. Each lesson, skills, and assessments are unique from week to week. Permission is obtained to utilize examples and adaptations used each week.
