Becoming Test Savvy is a tool for parents and teachers to demystify standardized tests for their children and students.

It explains how to think like a test writer. Six organizing principles guide students toward mastery of the critical thinking skills that are required for success. Dozens of sample practice activities promote the development of essential test-taking strategies and skills. Without them, many students will continue to say, “I don’t test well.” With them, students gain skills and confidence and move toward the goal of becoming test savvy.

This book is designed to help parents and teachers:

Recalibrate children’s attitude toward standardized tests;
Explain standardized tests and how to approach them;
Understand how teacher-made tests and standardized tests are different;
Recognize that standardized tests require critical thinking skills;
Provide concrete strategies to attack test questions; and
Present exercises to enable children to practice these strategies.

What Educators Are Saying About Becoming Test Savvy

The Alexanders have, indeed, skillfully and artfully developed a nurturing resource for a highly emotional and stressful topic. I marvel at their continued commitment, drive and desire to make a difference. Reading this was fun! They have managed to demystify and democratize the test-taking process.

Becoming Test Savvy is as necessary for parents as the Bible is for their children. It's hard to fathom how much importance there is just in prep work with a standardized test before we even fill in one bubble. This book is critical to readers because it teaches them to dissect the test and "X ray" the questions.
