Is your child a rising 6th, 7th or 8th Grader?
Standardized tests (Scantron, MAP, Placement tests, SAT/ACT) require specific skills that are rarely taught. Campers will learn practical tips and universal strategies that will help them to do their best in any testing situation. The life skills of perseverance, anxiety management, confidence, and time management that students will gain from this practice will be a bonus. Parents will receive multiple practice test results to view camper progress.
-Taught by Ms. Luperon.
