To help students conquer their test anxiety, the first step we take is to validate their concerns—the ISEE, ACT, and SAT are high stakes test after all—but then we walk them through the science of why they feel the way they do and implement research-backed mitigation strategies.
Our more than 23 years of experience and a significant body of data show that there are generally 7 primary sources of test-taking anxiety:
- Fear of the unknown test format
- Inadequate preparation timelines
- Lack of deep content mastery
- Immense parental pressure
- Toxic peer comparisons
- Physiological exhaustion
- Undiagnosed learning differences
Our tutors are well-educated and trained to deal with these common issues. Our core strength is our ability to empathize with your child while leveraging a framework to help them work past their anxiety. Click here to learn more about test anxiety and our comprehensive mitigation efforts.
