Formats Of Standardized Tests
The reality, however, is that it can be much different for people with testing problems. Standardized tests are a source of great anxiety and frustration for millions of Americans. The strange thing about it was that my daughter was actually a fine student. She always did well in her homework and, when given sufficient time, would get great test scores. There was something about the format of a standardized test, however, that always tripped her up. We had her take a Princeton Review course. Although I had heard mixed things about those classes, I knew that they work for some people and was willing to try anything. It brought her marks up a few points, but her standardized tests still showed scores well below her ability.
