A few months ago, I was interviewed for an article in Family Circle.com. And then I was interviewed again. And again. And then fact checked a few times. Note, please, that I didn't write this article: I was merely one of several subjects. And after all that, the writer still got my title wrong. Sigh.
Here's an excerpt. The complete article is at http://www.familycircle.com/teen/school/homework/study-tips/.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Test taking is like any other skill, so having your child run through sample exam questions—with a focus on what he struggles with—could result in better grades. "Practice tests familiarize students with the material and how it may be presented on the actual exam," says Laurie E. Rozakis, author of Test Taking Strategies & Skills for the Utterly Confused. Encourage your teen to make his own quizzes by changing the numbers in challenging math problems or reworking topic sentences from his textbooks into questions and then answering them.
