This intervention is a test-taking intervention course that will focus primarily on test-taking skills, and methods to improve academic achievement through tests and exams. The intervention will include steps and methods to be implemented before, during, and after the test session to ensure maximum performance. The intervention will also focus on skills that help the student analyze and retain the information in the best possible manner so passing tests is not seen as an end goal, but becomes a means of helping the students obtain long-term retention.

Audience: This intervention course is specifically geared toward students in 9th and 10th grade who have a difficulty in test taking that they have been unable to overcome through mere practice and normal methods of improvement such as extra study time and guidelines from the teachers. While the intervention could also apply to 11th and 12th graders, it would be more effectively given in 9th and 10th grade, so the students overcome their difficulties at the beginning of high school, and don’t carry the struggle until the fourth year. The majority of these students have processing difficulties. Such difficulties, which affect the students’ capacity for comprehension, memorization, and expression, negatively impact the students’ test-taking capacities and prevent them from being able to overcome test-taking difficulties through the standard tactics. As a result of continual difficulties, many of the students are plagued by exaggerated nervousness about tests, which inhibits their capacities even further. Others feel as though they will never be able to succeed, succumb to discouragement, and stop trying. Studies have shown that students with such processing weaknesses need supplementary support if they are to reach their true potential. This learning intervention course is dedicated to providing this support for the students specifically in the area of test taking.
