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.

The improvements with our 14-year-old have been amazing. I believe every person will benefit from this program. It’s top notch.

Paula (Colorado Springs, CO)

He was getting distracted really easily by other students and noises in the classroom and it hindered his ability to stay on task. I was nervous about the thought of him beginning to drive with how easily distracted he can get but after this program I have seen a huge difference in him. If your child is struggling to pay attention in a distracting school environment, feeling like they’re stupid, or not enjoying school because they’re having trouble completing tasks then this program is for them. Give yourself or your child this gift it’s worth it. I highly recommend this program!

Allie (Colorado Springs, CO)

Helped our daughter in a host of ways, from learning and thinking skills, increased confidence and self-esteem, to auditory and visual processing improvements.

Michael (Colorado Springs, CO)

LearningRx doesn’t just focus on academics and learning but also gives you the confidence to live your best life! Before LearningRx my son was afraid to try almost anything new. He was paralyzed by his fear. He has improved confidence to not just tackle academics but also to live his best life!

Stephanie (Colorado Springs, CO)

I have seen my child grow not just academically, but also in believing in her own abilities to problem-solving. The team of professionals at this place truly understands the needs of each student and works tirelessly to help them excel in their cognitive skills. The positive impact LearningRx has had on my family is truly invaluable. Without a doubt LearningRx has my highest recommendation.

Sara (Colorado Springs, CO)

Truly excellent program. Staff was excellent to work with. They kept us informed and were flexible with schedule changes when needed. My child’s progress was tremendous. Grades went up and her attitude towards school became more positive. I definitely recommend LearningRx.

Pj (Colorado Springs, CO)

LearningRx was recommended to my family by a teacher that took the time to see the potential that my child had. LearningRx was able to assist my child into becoming a more confident and happier student. This brain training was the best decision our family has made.

Tiffany (Colorado Springs, CO)

Our son struggled in school and started to disconnect because it became frustrating. After working with LearningRx everything changed, he talked about school in a positive way, grades came around. Now since 9th grade he has been on the honor roll every semester and is better organized. It’s all about understanding how your child learns and fixing the problems so they can reach their full potential.

Rudy (Colorado Springs, CO)

I am astounded at the results and can’t say enough positive things about LearningRx. This Colorado Springs center makes me and my children feel welcomed each and every time, has excellent and knowledgeable staff, and is well worth every penny! I highly recommend this brain training center to anyone age 5-95 who is looking for real results!

Nelli (Colorado Springs, CO)

LearningRx gave our son a great boost in confidence! The staff is extremely dedicated & caring about the success if their students!

M Miller (Colorado Springs, CO)

This is such a special organization. We invested in our son‘s future through LearningRx, and are very pleased with the results even after six months! We focused on auditory processing to balance with visual processing. The staff is very intelligent and personable and flexible support our family needs. I would recommend LearningRx to anybody at any age actually to build those neural pathways!

Michelle (Colorado Springs, CO)

LearningRx was a wonderful academic support for our daughter. The environment was fun, motivating and productive. We are so grateful for this resource in our community!

Lindsey (Colorado Springs, CO)

My daughter trains there and we have seen the amount of time it takes her to do schoolwork lessen significantly. She also has a better time understanding math concepts.

Keri (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)

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)

It was amazing how this brain training positively affected every aspect of my 8-year old’s life, from comprehending what he read to learning and speaking to building confidence in himself and working through the meltdowns rather than shutting down. Homework time, discipline time, and times of losing are also a lot easier with new understanding. All of which will make his life lessons, now and in the future, easier to adapt to and learn from!

Brendan (Colorado Springs, CO)

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!
