Scoring High on the TerraNova CTBSTM
A program that teaches achievement test behaviors Scoring High on the TerraNova CTBSTM is designed to prepare students for these tests. The program provides instruction and practice in reading, language arts, word analysis, vocabulary, computation, and mathematics skills. Scoring High also familiarizes students with the kinds of test formats and directions that appear on the tests and teaches test-taking strategies that promote success. Students who are used to a comfortable learning environment are often unaccustomed to the structured setting in which achievement tests are given. Even students who are used to working independently may have difficulty maintaining a silent, sustained effort or following directions that are read to a large group. Scoring High, with its emphasis on group instruction, teaches these testtaking skills systematically. Using Scoring High to help prepare students for the TerraNova CTBSTN1 will increase the probability of your students doing their best on the tests. Students' self-confidence will be at a maximum, and their proficiency in the skills tested will be higher as a result of the newly learned test-taking strategies and increased familiarity with test formats. Scoring High can be used effectively along with your regular reading, language arts, and mathematics curriculums. By applying subject-area skills in the context of the test-taking situation, students will not only strengthen their skills, but also accumulate a reserve of test-taking strategies.
