Achieving Peak Performance & One Hour Practice

 

For children in the primary grades, an important question is, "What is an achievement test like?" Parents have other questions: First, "What skills will the test measure?" And second, "How can I prepare my child?" It is important to know what is expected in order to prepare adequately.

Basic Skills has two test series designed to prepare students for the style and content of the two most common types of tests.   Both are designed to answer the above questions and concerns in a simple and easy to use way. The student book simulates actual standardized tests, and the parent book, aside from instruction on administering the test, is a plan made up of three parts:

  1. "Identifying Learning Objectives"
  2. "Mastering Test Strategies"
  3. "Practicing for success."

These can be used to prepare students for most standardized tests. If your child does not need to take a standardized test this year, but you want to evaluate progress on your own, we suggest you consider the ELO Quick Assessment series.

The One-Hour Practice Test has been our favorite test-prep course for a number of years. For those of you worried about taking the Terra-Nova 3 test, rest assured: this will still work fine. Basic Skills has written up an article explaining the differences between the CAT6/Terra-Nova 2 (One-Hour Practice Test series) and the Terra-Nova 3 (Achieving Peak Performance series). 

The books may be purchased separately, but we recommend buying the teacher manual and practice tests together as a set.
