ISEE / SAT/ ACT TEST PREP

School entrance tests often seem to test a completely different set of skills than is taught at a student’s school. Test preparation is often crammed and stressful on students with the addition of extra homework as well as trying to learn brand new concepts and skills (especially in math). Our suggestion is that your student begin test preparation (for fall/winter testing) at least four months prior to the test. In this way:

  • Skills are transferable to school curriculum and used at school, not just on the test.
  • Skills that are taught at Blue Marble are learned, not crammed and quickly forgotten.
  • Preparing for a school entrance test is an enjoyable, non-stressful experience.
  • The test makes sense to the student.
  • Students feel confident and well-prepared on test day.
  • Students have acquired solid writing skills to be used throughout their lives.
  • Planning and organizational skills can be taught in context through test preparation.

Not only is this program fun, it fosters critical thinking, writing, and fine motor skills while offering targeted academic support or remediation. Students generally attend 1-2 times per week for 11/2 hour per session.
