Workplace and Adult Exam Consultations

"It turns out I am heavily "right-brained" and this is why I have so much trouble processing the data and details of the manuals and guides, recalling it for the exams.  Betty has found ways for me to read, study, and LEARN the information, enabling me to recall what I need to know not only for the exam but for speaking with clients.  I strongly recommend PPI contact her as a teaching and learning resource for their classes."

Preparing the people taking the test

Typically, professional exam prep courses, whether for medical Boards or professional certification, focus on the test itself, including practice exams, question analysis, test construction, study guides, etc. The Stressless Tests^® Method fills in the crucial missing piece: an awareness of how individual test-takers learn best. Some individuals, based on their in-born learning style, may actually store the information in the wrong part of their memory to be accessed during an exam. Mastering the Stressless Tests^® Method paves the way for more efficient and effective studies, with proven strategies to convert learning to "test-ready knowledge" so students can pass the exam the first time. This is a life skill.

Those returning to higher education as adult learners face special challenges. Study skills may be rusty, or inadequate for current educational methods. Test anxiety may undermine the best preparation. Now they can benefit from the added confidence based on self-knowledge of how they learn best. With study strategies chosen to match their challenges, students will experience less stress, more confidence, and higher levels of performance.
