Test Taking Skills

An upcoming test is enough to make anyone nervous. But when students have a strong foundation of cognitive skills, tests come with a lot less pressure! At LearningRx, our training programs offers a unique approach to focus on the core skills of test taking.

Achieving high grades on tests and exams takes more than simply knowing the answers. We focus on the skills that students use for taking tests like:

Study habits
Reading and writing
Logic and reasoning
Sustained attention
Short-term memory
Long-term memory
Mental processing

By focusing on these core skills, brain training is a smart alternative to tutoring.

You or your child may or may not achieve the same results as past LearningRx clients. But give us a call. We’d love to work with you, too!

He doesn’t have to study as long and he has a fast reading speed. His confidence has increased, and he is the first person in his class to answer questions without hesitation, and his test scores increased too. “

Brain Training or Test Prep Tutoring?

Hiring a tutor is one of the most popular ways to prepare for tests and exams. But it’s not the way to build test taking skills.

Tutoring is focused on delivering information, so it’s a great way to spend more time with material or catch up on content that’s been missed. This makes tutoring a good choice for students who are confident in their test-taking skills and studying abilities, but who wants one-on-one help when reviewing a specific subject.

Brain training is focused on strengthening the way you learn and think. Rather than spending more time with test subject matter, it builds learning and thinking skills students use for studying and test-taking. This makes brain training a great alternative to simply rehearsing subject matter.

Getting started with test and exam prep training is easy with LearningRx. We’ll have an initial conversation about your training goals, then schedule a skills assessment. After that, we can get started with a personalized brain training plan.

Hear from our Students and Families

Our son was struggling with reading comprehension, and this was affecting many subjects as he entered middle school. He would study for tests and work on homework for hours at night. The grades he received did not reflect the work he was putting in which led to much frustration. Tutoring and extra help at school did not seem to help. Once we met with Tiffany and she explained the LearningRx model and how it was different from tutoring, we felt it was exactly what our son needed. And wow…did we see fast results.

Valerie (Franklin, TN)

My child was struggling so much with reading in school and at home. She had one-on-one help through the school for a full school year but was still significantly below grade level. Her frustration began to build with tests taking almost 3x longer for her to complete when compared to her peers. She started to dislike going to school because it was too difficult. She has grown tremendously with LearningRx. She is volunteering to read at school and has improved in her skills in many ways.

Jolene (Eagan, MN)

Both of my boys when through brain training. Our goal was to fill in any educational gaps and improve their ACT scores. Both boys ended up in the 30s for their ACT. We love LearningRx Texarkana and would recommend this program to others!

Ms Miller (Texarkana, TX)

This program has been incredible for both our daughters. Both have completed the program, and both have excelled in school and college entrance exams as a result of the efficacy of the program and the incredible skill of our trainer Tara as part of the program. As a Clinical Psychologist, I have seen many programs throughout the years to improve grades, learning methods, etc. I have never seen a program that generates such clear and demonstrated results as in this program. Thank you for creating such a fantastic program for our children and all children who take this course of study!

C.F. (Alpharetta, GA)

My son showed significant improvement in school related learning and testing.

Amber (Alpharetta, GA)

What stood out the most for me in the program was the staff’s commitment and dedication to student success. I have never seen him so excited to do something related to academics, mostly because his confidence had been broken by test scores that did not reflect his effort. Now, he has the confidence to know he can achieve the results he desires.

Ron (Eagan, MN)

Our 10-year-old son’s life is on a GREAT trajectory thanks to his brain being “re-wired” by the LearningRx program! I am a family nurse practitioner, and I can say their system is unlike any other. In the past, my son would be crying nearly every day after school due to the frustration of being behind and overwhelmed. Now, a year later, he’s a confident young man who enjoys school, loves to learn— and even enjoys taking tests!

Ellie (Colorado Springs, CO)

LearningRx has been incredible for our son. He was struggling in math, memorizing information for tests, and struggling to pay attention in class. He was getting distracted really easily by other students and noises in the classroom and it hindered his ability to stay on task. My son’s confidence has skyrocketed, but more importantly than that it has elevated his level of grit.

Allie (Colorado Springs, CO)

My sons processing skills, ability to respond to questions and his engagement in classes at school improved throughout his time with LearningRx.

Rachel (Appleton, WI)

All of my children have completed programs with LearningRx and have done well. Victoria has worked on increasing her memory and speed when taking tests. She is successful in school.

Maria (The Woodlands, TX)

Since completing my program, I have seen great improvement in my memory, comprehension, and processing speed. LearningRx made my completion of high school and transition to college a lot smoother. I don’t have to work so hard to understand things anymore. I am able to do things more quickly and also fully understand each step.
