How did you feel about taking standardized tests in secondary school? In what ways did your high school prepare you for standardized tests? If you had the ways and means how would you do it differently?
I was personally never fond of taking standardized tests. My strength has been and most certainly never will be test taking, so I am also anxious when the time comes to take one. With this being said, I believe my high school did an excellent job in preparing me for the various standardized tests. We would spend entire class periods reviewing how to approach a certain type of problem, and then how to work on it. The most effective part of this would be to practice with similar problems of past standardized tests. This way the best form of practice as well as recognition, so come time to take the actual standardized tests I would be fully prepared. If I were to go back and do I all over the only thing I would probably do is have my teachers just give us more practice problems. The more the merrier! Other than that I strongly feel as though my high school did everything in its power to make sure I was not only ready to take a standardized test, but also insure me a sense of comfort and make sure I was mentally ready to conquer the standardized test!
