Test-Taking Strategies is a two day course, with each class being 45 minutes. In the first class, we will quickly review note-taking and study strategies (I offer more in depth information of these topics in separate classes) before beginning our discussion on what to do on test day BEFORE taking the test.
In the second class, we will look at approaches and words to look for when answering different types of questions:
* multiple choice
* true/false,
* short answer
* essay question
At the end of each class, we will review and complete some practice questions. There will be no homework or assessments for this class. Students will be encouraged to contact me via email after the close of class if they have any questions.Learning Goals
Students will gain skills to help them prepare for and take tests more effectively and with less stress.Students will discover areas in their own habits that need to be improved.
