The owner and head tutor was recommended by my daughter’s Algebra teacher at school. He has been instrumental in helping her as a non-native English speaker, understand the language of the Algebra taught in her school. He also has provided guidance and support in helping her enhance and develop her writing skills. My daughter has developed a trusting and respectful working relationship with him. She knows that she can rely on his expert advice and support on a variety of subjects and fields and is excited about continuing their association upon her return from spring break.

Some students go in sequential order of the test and get caught up on a question. They spend extra time on that one question and then run out of time. They end up not answering the last few questions due to lack of time. Not anymore!
The trick to defeating a timed test is to work out of order. Answer the easy questions you know. Skip the hard questions or questions that will take a long time to answer. Then after you have answered all the questions you can, go back and spend the rest of your time on the challenging ones. This way a student will earn a higher test score for answering more correct answers.

Make sure a skipped question is also skipped on the scantron/fill in the bubble page as well. If not everything will be wrong! For example if you skip #8 and answer #9, make sure that #9’s answer is in the right spot and not accidentally in #8’s bubble. When students make this common mistake every answer on the scantron sheet will be wrong from #8 until the end of the test.

Most of the standardized reading tests have a long essay to read and a bunch of questions to answer. One test-taking trick is to read the questions before reading the essay. Then as you read the essay, the answer will stand out once you get to that point in the story.

During a timed test, never spend a lot of time on any particular question. If all questions are worth the same amount of points, one could get up to 5 extra questions correct in the time they are wasting on one they are struggling with. NEVER use too much time on one question.

If there is no penalty for wrong answers such as PARCC, MCAS, school test and ACT, ALWAYS guess if you do not know the answer. NEVER leave an answer blank. The chances of receiving credit when guessing the answer may be as low as 5% – 20%. However if a student leaves a question blank, they have a guaranteed 0% chance of receiving credit. Guess when it is to your advantage.
