Success Strategies for Test-Prep
Standardized tests in secondary education have become more important than ever in our current educational environment. Furthermore, while universities and graduate schools have always maintained that standardized test scores are not the sole determining factor for admission, students who have higher scores, generally, are more favorable candidates. Many students and families cannot afford the high cost of test-review services.
In conjunction with some leading educators, we have developed the “Know-More System” – a comprehensive framework to empower learners on effective test-taking techniques. The learners will develop a winning attitude, improve reading comprehension, as well as learn tips and strategies specific to their exams or tests.
