ByErin LynchISEE, SSATComments Off on SSAT and ISEE Tip of the Week: How to Use the Video Course
The Test Innovators Video Course provides videos and resources that focus on both strategies and content to help you reach your testing goals. Consider these methods to making use of the Video Course:
Start with the videos on Test-taking Strategies. This chapter includes all of the videos that will help you on each section of the test, including time management and multiple choice strategies. Watching these videos first will give you the foundation to succeed on every section.
Next, watch the videos for the section you struggle with most. Having a hard time with reading or math? Spend the next part of your time on the video course watching the videos that cover areas of weakness. In between videos, practice the content and strategies by taking practice tests and completing practice exercises.
Finally, amplify your areas of strength. Even if you feel confident on a section, watching the video course chapter will help ensure that you have access to all of the tips and tools relevant to that section
