 | True or False by Trevor Romain
Tests are hard. Tests are scary. In fact, tests stink! But no matter how kids (and parents, and teachers) feel about tests, they're part of life. To succeed in school, kids need to ask, How can I be a better test-taker? This book has the answers. In the tradition of Trevor's first Free Spirit book, How To Do Homework Without Throwing Up (see page 14), it blends sound advice with humor and goofy cartoons. As kids smile and laugh their way through the pages, they'll discover proven ways to survive and thrive in all kinds of test situations. They'll learn how to overcome test anxiety, procrastination, and perfectionism; how to prepare for specific kinds of tests (multiple choice, true-false, standardized); how to handle cheaters; how to get help from tutors, mentors, and/or study groups; the pros and cons of guessing; and much more. Other study guides can be dry, boring, and much toooo lonnnng. True Or False: Tests Stink! is fun, entertaining, and (like Trevor's other books) small but. mighty. It can inspire even reluctant, anxious students to tackle tests with confidence. AUTHOR: Trevor Romain
