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.

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)

Everyone was very invested in Anniston’s success. Anniston has researched topics and questions by herself on google a few times in the last couple weeks and that is something she would not have done previously. She spells and reads much better now. She is continuing to grow in her skills.

Lauren (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

Camila was really having a hard time with the language barrier in Kinder and overall learning. LearningRx Texarkana gave Camila a trainer that spoke both languages and maximized her growth with Brain Training and ReadRx. Camila is more confident now. Her teachers rave on how quickly they saw a change. No more tears to go to school!

Ms Moreno (Texarkana, TX)

My son’s memory has improved significantly in just a few months. He can recall things he did three years ago. His processing speed is much faster, and he is doing math more easily and quickly.

Parent (Cresskill, NJ)

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 took my child’s needs seriously. They listened to what our concerns were, helped figure out a plan, and checked in throughout the process to make sure everything was in check. My child is even more confident. He has become much more expedient and efficient in his work. I have seen a huge improvement in his willingness to try and his ability to remember information is amazing!

Kallie (Woodbury, MN)

When you see the changes in your child from the beginning to the end, it is very rewarding. Our son was very reluctant at the beginning of training but started to show joy in sharing the activities he was working on. We have seen our son be able to sit for longer periods of time when completing tasks. His attention span has lengthened which has improved his work at school.

Matt (Reston, VA)

Our son was barely reading in 4th grade and now he is reading confidently and enjoying it. He volunteers to read regularly and there has been a huge change in his attitude as well because he is confident in his reading! If you are on the fence just do it! It’s a lot but so worth it!

Brenda (Charlottesville, VA)

I’m starting training myself (with my 12-year-old son and father) to see if the virtual version holds up—a trial is available. If you want real-world listening and thinking skills built with grit, nuance, and scientific grounding, this program is worth your time and money. It’s a game-changer.

Rae (Chattanooga, TN)

Thank you for giving Mila the opportunity to strengthen her skills through your learning program. This experience has been a great start to developing her reading skills.

Katelyn (Richmond Hill, ON)

My daughter has been coming for two months, and her grades have improved significantly. She really enjoys coming here.

Juan (Edina, MN)

After I attended LearningRx my work started taking me half the time! I would recommend LearningRx to anyone with a slow work pace… it’s fast and easy and really works!

Bryan (Shreveport, LA)

The staff took a true interest in our son and developing a strategy to help him grow and succeed in life and his education.

Mandy (Fishers, IN)

LearningRx has been amazing for my 1st Grader! I have watched him gain confidence in learning subjects that were challenging to him and have also seen an increase in his academic test scores since his training began in Chattanooga. Everyone has been amazing to work with, and so welcoming and kind. Excited to see my son’s future progress. Thank you LearningRx – Chattanooga!

Cate (Chattanooga, TN)

Wonderful staff! Friendly and safe environment. My son has grown so much over the past year being with Learning RX.

Aaron (Chattanooga, TN)

We really appreciate the tools and techniques LearningRx provided for Montel to continue to identify, analyze, process information presented before him. The hesitation and unsureness are replaced with confidence and self-assurance in his abilities working a problem.

Glen (San Antonio, NE, TX)

Very thankful for LearningRx and the help it has provided our child. Seeing her gain confidence and ability is priceless. Michelle, Jennifer, Jordan, and the rest of the team are the best of the best. Your kindness and professionalism are simply the cherry on top

Kellen (Chattanooga, TN)

Will is now interested in reading on his own — he’s diving into books. It’s great to see him grow in this area, where he was not willing to do before. Will has grown in confidence and his self-esteem and is better able to deal with challenges when he’s faced with time.

Kelly (Chaska, MN)

He has struggled with reading and writing since preschool and only continued to fall further behind even with an IEP/school support plan. Coming to LearningRx has been the best decision we have ever made for our son. He absolutely loves coming, the staff is extremely friendly and, also encouraging. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his reading skills and working memory.

Susan (Shoreview, MN)

Our daughter saw improvements in her reading skills and grew in her confidence of being a reader. She seems to enjoy reading more and asks to read extra pages when it’s time to turn off the lights at bedtime. Her memory skills were strengthened, too.

Carlie (Eden Prairie, MN)

We enrolled in LearningRx because we wanted him to have all the tools to be successful in life. We noticed differences and results in many ways throughout the program. His PSAT score jumped 100 points with 90 of the points being in the reading/comprehension section and he achieved Academic Dean’s List. More importantly, he noticed the difference. School became easier, he elaborates more whereas before answers to questions were brief, he is more confident, and as added bonus, it has helped him in basketball and baseball.

Jessica (Franklin, TN)

I saw so much growth in confidence and her dedication and interest in learning. We are so proud of her hard work, and don’t think we could have picked a better program! Maison was matched with the trainer, she was comfortable which helped with her success within the program.

Danielle (Irvine, CA)

My daughter was having a hard time and school and LearningRx changed that. Her confidence is remarkable now.

Ms Rosales (Texarkana, TX)

Abhik (Savage, MN)

My daughter has more fluency and confidence now when she reads, but most of all, she is reading! She totes several books in her bookbag to and from school to read during down-time at school and at home. Reading is no longer seen as a chore and there is no longer the same struggle we had before starting this program.

Aaron (Staunton-Harrisonburg VA)

I loved this place because the people that teach it create a fun environment, the games that are incorporated are really fun to play while also learning a lot through them too!

Lukas (Woodbury, MN)

It’s great working with LearningRx. Max started seeing improvement after the second week of session. I would definitely recommend LearningRx!

Kim (Chattanooga, TN)

They truly know how to make kids feel at ease, turning what could be a stressful experience into an exciting and enjoyable one. I believe every parent should take the opportunity to assess their child’s learning abilities. Understanding where they are academically and cognitively is so important for effective learning and growth. LearningRx in Shreveport is a game-changer. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to give their child a solid foundation for success!

TND (Shreveport, LA)

My daughter has shown continued improvement in willingness to try and is no longer resistant to trying new or hard things – both academic and non. I do not believe we would continue to see such tremendous and continuous progress without this program.

Katie (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

Maureen was very caring about my son needs and struggles and helped us gain a better insight and a better picture on how to keep helping him grow and develop. His recommendations were custom- tailored to my son’s challenges and needs. Thank you!

Shamira (Tysons, VA)

Our son has increased his attention for a longer period of time in the classroom and is a more active participant during classroom discussions. Our son shows more willingness to read at home. He enjoyed coming to the session, working with his trainer and feeling comfortable in the learning environment. The directors and trainer were supportive of his learning.

Marie (Richmond Hill, ON)

LearningRx has been such a game changer for our 9-year-old. We are so thankful for them!

Chris (Chattanooga, TN)

The entire LearningRx team and program made a tremendous impact on our daughter’s reading and processing speed. We loved working with all of the trainers and especially appreciated Ms. Gina’s dedication and care for our daughter’s growth and progress.

Nicole (Eden Prairie, MN)

It was not a one size fits all program. The tested progress along the way, made necessary adjustment to ensure progress was happening. The director was always available if we needed anything, answered all our questions and make sure we were comfortable before we started, during the training and following graduation.

Stephanie (Minneapolis, MN)

Mike was very engaging and knowledgeable and has an amazing background that fits perfectly with this work. He is also very passionate and truly cares about helping the people that come in. It is apparent that he is in this to change lives and that’s refreshing to find.

Alli (Fort Collins, CO)

Improved focus, memory and multitasking. Friendly trainers that take interest in helping your child grow.

Jodi (San Antonio, NE, TX)

We were referred by family members who went through training in Pensacola and Atlanta. We are very happy with the improvements and have decided to add extra training hours.

Ena (Alpharetta, GA)

We are new to LearningRx. But we love it. Staff are friendly, easy to talk to and helpful. My son likes his coach Gina. She always has smile on her face and great communicator.

Hani (St. Louis Park, MN)

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)

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)

Transformative experience at LearningRx! My son has shown remarkable success and vast improvement in all areas since starting his journey with their program. The dedicated and amazing team provided exceptional guidance and one-on-one training that truly made a difference. Not only has my son gained confidence, but he is also enjoying school more and performing better in his studies. The personalized approach and supportive environment made learning enjoyable and engaging for him.

Flordeliza (Katy, TX)

LearningRx was such a blessing for our family and especially for our little boy. He originally went for an updated evaluation for school and then after meeting with the owner Michelle, we learned about their Lift Off program. Our trainer Mrs. Aimee and all the staff became like family to us. The joy every trainer has for their job is evident. This is amazing place! His confidence has soared as a learner and to us, nothing can replace that.

Amy (Chattanooga, TN)

I see positive changes in my child’s personally and school wise. My child’s spelling has improved as well as verbal communication.

Sarah (Fairfax, VA)

After completing a 20-week program, we’ve seen great improvements in her abilities at school. She is better able to stay focused and deal with distractions, something that had previously been a challenge. Her confidence has soared and this boost in self-assurance has been evident in all areas of her academic and social life. Math, which once felt like a constant struggle, has become much easier for her. She now handles math facts with greater ease and working through her math homework no longer causes the same frustration.

Stephanie (Savage, MN)

This facility is top-notch. It’s amazing to learn about what you are truly capable of after brain training!!

Michelle (Alpharetta, GA)

Improvements in maturity, better grades, a positive outlook on life.

Julia (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

We’ve noticed an increase in confidence in himself. He seems to trust his abilities more than he used to. He is able to listen to directions better and seems more able to hear them. He is more excited about school and learning. LearningRx has been a great experience for him!

Alyson (Savage, MN)

I worked remotely with Kim! She is amazing! This program helped me regain working memory skills, processing speed, & more after a traumatic brain injury! I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Emily (Chattanooga East, TN)

My son has made tremendous progress in multiple areas! He’s more confident and was even mentioning today, weeks after LearningRx ended, that he wants to go back and say hi to everyone since he loved his trainers! Highly recommend this program.

Sapana (Sugar Land, TX)

Aselin was having a very tough time in school, specifically with math. We went from constant tears over homework that she did not understand, low grades and not wanting to go to school. To now enjoying going to school, completing homework on her own and getting great grades.

Carter (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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!
