The summer is a great opportunity for students to catch up, retain their skills, or move ahead academically. Many families depend on us to prevent the “summer slide” and have their students ready to go on day number 1 of the new school year. Y3K Tutor In Your Home is proud to announce that we won the Family Favorite Best Academic Camps Top 10 Award. This prestigious award was presented to us by the Boston Parents Paper and published in their Family Favorites issue. It truly means a lot to be recognized as the best for our summer tutoring. Thank you to the many hundreds of parents that chose us as their favorite summer tutor. We will continue to earn your votes for this award based on our tutoring this upcoming summer.

Popcorn Tutoring

Popcorn is prepared in the same pot, with the same heat, in the same oil, yet the kernels do not pop at the same time. Don’t compare your child to others. Your student’s time to pop is coming!

Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s Test Taking Strategies #11: Timed Test – First Do The Easy Ones

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.

Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s Test Taking Strategies #10: Multiple Choice Disaster

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.

Make sure that every question has been answered. Sometimes students get nervous, lose their train of thought, and forget to answer questions leaving them blank. Take time to verify everything has been completed.

Y3K Tutor In Your Home’s Test Taking Strategies #6: Pace Yourself

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.
