[quote=Anonymous]I would have your child take a paper practice test with no time limit section by section (doesn't have to even be in one sitting) to determine whether it's an issue of not being able to answer the questions versus the test anxiety of a lengthy timed test. Is he doing better on one section than another? If he truly doesn't know the content, you might want to consider a regular tutor (not necessarily a test tutor) as that is the type of content entering college students should know. If its really more test anxiety related, try the SAT (fewer/deeper questions) or start taking a practice test/week--repetitive practice may help him learn what to expect, to not panic when he doesn't quickly recognize what to do, etc. Ultimately if he does a bunch of practice tests, he'll see they tend to test the same concepts, just with different numbers or wording. Once he figures out how to recognize and handle a certain concept it may be less stressful.[/quote]
