How We Do It
Practicing questions, once the student has learned our Method, is a huge part of our daily schedule. The goals of practicing how to effectively answer board-style questions has many benefits:
- It allows students to apply our highly effective technique to help them pick the right answer especially when they get it down to two possible answer choices.
- Students notice an improvement in their test performance.
- Students begin to develop a sense of self-confidence when they see higher scores during question practice. Educational research has shown that students who are self-confident report higher scores.
In some of our sessions we work in small groups which has many advantages:
· It allows the tutor who facilitates the small group to ensure that the student has clear and defined interpretation of the work at hand and is logical in his/her thought process.
· It highlights for students an awareness of when reasoning process is disorganized which then leads to a misinterpretation of questions.
· It provides opportunities to improve comprehension.
· It helps students, together with the facilitator, figure out their own personal style of learning.
