What if someone walked up to you and asked you to look at this photo of berries and identify the type of berry in three seconds? Could you do that? I couldn’t even if I knew the type of berry because I would be so startled by the question. That is often how it feels when you are taking the SAT or ACT because in many ways they are as much psychological exams as tests of your ability to answer questions in English, Reading, and Math (as well as Science on the ACT). By psychological, we mean the ability to withstand the pressure of answering questions within a tightly timed situation.
I never liked taking timed tests as a student. In fact, as a high school student while taking the SAT, I felt extremely anxious. However, once I had the experience of designing tests, I discovered that there are specific ways to decrease the time spent on each question while increasing accuracy. As a member of the EA, I have worked with our team to determine the best ways to teach students how to balance accuracy with speed. WE HAVE THE SOLUTION!
If you rush through a passage or section of a test, you will probably get too many wrong answers to obtain a satisfactory score. However, if you work at a pace appropriate to your academic ability, you might not finish ALL the questions. EA Test Prep has the answer to this challenge: balance speed and accuracy. Do you remember the story of the race between the tortoise and the hare? The tortoise won the race. Let EA Test Prep show you how to slow down and “win” on the SAT or ACT by sharing the techniques we have developed, or as we call them –TRICKS - to increase both your accuracy and speed.
During our six-week session, you will learn how to think critically in order to look at the question carefully, so you can determine the most important terms within that question. Yup, understanding that question is most important since the way it is set up determines which answer is correct. If you understand that there are specific types of questions that are asked and learn those types, well now you are ahead of the game. If you know the answers are designed to confuse, you recognize that you shouldn’t really look at them at all until you have determined your answer. The combination of these two ideas is one TRICK that will increase your accuracy. Once you know this TRICK, the confidence you gain from it will increase your speed.
If you want to know more about how to balance speed and accuracy, we are always available to help you. Just contact us at 845.582.0017 or [email protected], and ask for Judy.
