New! What's My Style? Test and Study Secrets for Procrastinating Teens An Owner's Manual for Your Brain
This brand new book, authored by Betty Caldwell and designed with teens for teens, is now the text book for all classes. With original commissioned cartoons, activities, and stories drawn from the classroom, this will be a lasting resource for students and parents. Students will recognize their own learning style and learn how to build on it for greater success.
The Stressless Tests® Method help students
Identify their dominant, brain-determined, learning style
Discover how their learning style affects test-taking, focusing, subject-matter challenges, procrastination, organization, and more
Learn proven techniques and strategies to enhance learning style, engage more of their brain’s capabilities, build confidence, and improve performance
Incorporate new concrete behavior and skills into their everyday work, taking action to boost their academic standing
The High School Study Skills Course helps students increase their understanding of how they learn best and develop time-tested skills to improve academic performance. Many students do well in class but lack this systematic approach that helps them develop self-confidence and testing skills.
For students who suffer from Test Anxiety, (i.e. they know the material but freeze when it comes to tests), this course has proven extremely effective.
