The Better Test Scores series follows an instructionally sound and consistent learning pattern that benefits both students and teacher.
Students take a pretest simulating the Ohio Achievement Assessment and then identify their strengths and weaknesses using a correlation chart. Students can then focus on specific lessons containing the instruction, strategies, and practice they need.
Students work through example item types found on the Ohio Achievement Assessment and compare their answers to the correct responses. Then they receive direct instruction in specific test-taking strategies and subject area tips to help improve their performance.
After each lesson, students apply test-taking strategies to a timed practice test in the same format as the Ohio Achievement Assessment and chart their results to monitor progress.
Students practice using test-taking strategies on a timed posttest that mirrors the format of an authentic Ohio Achievement Assessment. A bubble answer sheet gives students in upper grades practice in transferring their answers.
