While absorbing content is important, the way we look at the question being asked and the way we understand the test itself is just as crucial to success, especially in standardized testing.

...just as anyone can learn how to drive. True, some are better than others and some pick it up quicker than others, but everyone can do it. It just takes someone to help guide you through its complexities. It takes someone who will take the time to identify the blockage points and allow understanding to come. There is nothing I enjoy more than working with students to clear those blockages and have them say "I...
