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.

My son went into the program with poor study habits, limited memory recall, and zero confidence. During, and at the end, of the program his study skills, confidence, and grades have dramatically improved. I highly recommend the program!

Mat W. (Chandler, AZ)

So very thankful for Robyn and Lauren. They worked with us every step and stumble. They provided extra support and encouragement when needed. We are thrilled with the changes in our daughter.

Julie N. (Chandler, AZ)

This place is the BEST! Both my sons went here starting in Kinder and the only thing I regret is NOT doing it sooner! They have boosted their confidence and got them reading in no time! How do I forget about there math skills too – great place!

Jacoba C. (Chandler, AZ)

Since coming to LearningRx, our daughter has gained confidence and independence. While doing homework or practice worksheets, she used to fight to avoid the work and now eagerly sits down to work on things. Since LearningRx started with our daughter, we have gone from her being below national standards to now being on track. Carol, her LearningRx teacher has been amazing with our daughter – keeping her on-task and when our daughter is not focusing, she has immediately been able to redirect her and get her back on track.

Latisha B. (Chandler, AZ)

Amazed by their expertise and guidance, my kid is more focused at school and at home and better thought process along the way. Highly recommended.

Jae S. (Chandler, AZ)

LearningRX has been a life altering / trajectory changing life decision for our son!!! The freedom he now has with his brain and processing skills is awesome! The drastic improvements he has had within school work and homework have been phenomenal. Robyn, Mrs T and the whole team have so much passion and so much wisdom to pour into these students.

David K. (Chandler, AZ)

A trajectory changing life decision for our son! This is not your typically learning center that “accepts” your learning disability and tries to “help” you. They change how your brain functions!

Marilyn H. (Chandler, AZ)

The Learning RX program has been so great for our son. Not only did it build his confidence but it increased his neuro cognitive ability to process things more efficiently. My son has increased his passion for reading and we have seen so much overall improvement.

Lacey Leonard (Chandler, AZ)

Learning Rx was an important game changer for my son. We see improvements in focus, critical reading and thinking, math processes, academic independence, and self confidence. I highly recommend Learning Rx.

Jackie de Laveaga (Chandler, AZ)

Reading comprehension has improved. Math skills have improved.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

At home, he would remember what needed to be done after only being asked once, a substantial change from before. Overall, he seems less stressed, overwhelmed, and much more academically confident.

Cara (Chandler, AZ)

This has been a great experience. I’ve seen improvements within 2-3 weeks in starting and has excelled. I’m glad there’s a center like this to take the time to teach at such a level that kids need!

Mike (Chandler, AZ)

LearningRx is a truly amazing program. Once we started with LearningRx after about 3 months into our sessions, she was able to just pick up her books and go without fighting/avoiding her work – especially her vocab, reading, and spelling assignments.

Tiffany (Chandler, AZ)

Noah appears to have more patience at home. Prior to classes at LearningRx I felt there were constant “battles” to get homework done, chores at home, and day-to-day requests. If Noah becomes overwhelmed, he is able to communicate that to me in a more positive way.

Marcy (Chandler, AZ)

At home he is now willing to do his homework, where before he would have a tantrum every time. His school grades have made a noticeable improvement. At school his teacher has also noticed large improvements in his classroom behavior. His reading and spelling grades have improved.

Paul (Chandler, AZ)

Noticeable improvement in study habit. She’s become a more diligent worker. She can focus for a longer period of time when doing schoolwork. She understands math more than she used to.

Sonia (Chandler, AZ)

Our son came into the program while in grade 1 with significant anxiety when it came to his class performance. This was most striking when it came to reading. There were concerns with ADHD and possibly dyslexia. He is listening better and his reading has taken huge strides forward. You can see how this has improved his confidence.

Jodi (Chandler, AZ)

Gabrielle has shown consistent improvements in her schoolwork scores. She has told us that school seems easier. Above all, Gabby has learned skills that will help her be successful in whatever she chooses to do. She has learned how to focus more intentionally, listen more actively, plan in advance, priorities her tasks.

Amy (Chandler, AZ)

We’ve seen improvements in our child and more importantly he has seen and recognizes improvements in himself. Increased memory, focus, processing, confidence, commitment.

Paul (Chandler, AZ)

My son has demonstrated an easy understanding in processing information so he can now resolve problems (homework) with ease and confidence.

Giselle (Chandler, AZ)

Micah’s ability to learn without ‘freezing’ is the biggest improvement. Micah’s abilities to spell, write, read, follow instruction have all drastically improved. Micah’s confidence has improved. His excitement of learning has skyrocketed.

Marilyn (Chandler, AZ)

Since starting the program, we have noticed that my son seems more confident in certain areas – in school his self-esteem, his ability to do tasks, and his attention at times seems to be more sustained, and his grades improved.

Amy (Chandler, AZ)

Reading lessons are done so much more quickly now. She has a much better attitude doing them because she doesn’t struggle as much. She also picks up her own books and tries to read them on her own.

Becky (Chandler, AZ)

Returning to “learning” for my husband at 65 wasn’t easy, but the pace created for him and the variety in learning was so successful and engaging. The program really turned his life around for the better.

Cindy (Chandler, AZ)

Our son’s reading ability and comprehension has increased significantly after completing this program. I don’t know of anything else out there like it. It is a very different approach from traditional tutoring and very effective. I highly recommend them.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

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!
