In our Algebra and Literature courses around the state, we teach all of the important skills or content that allow students to understand our whole course so that they can continue in the Mathematics and ELA coursework required by our districts. However, standardized tests, the Keystone Exams included, require the mastery of a limited list of content or skills. Because, as any good teacher knows, not everything is easy assessable using a multiple choice or brief open-ended question.

In each of our Keys we help you teach students to "Train Your Brain" the tricks- really, the skills and content- that will give them a better chance to test at their potential - to make them better test-takers.
