"Prior to the introduction of the Test Professor program, Lincoln's math passing percentage was about 64 percent. Once we introduced Test Professor instruction, with a test control group in the spring of 1997, results rose significantly. Of the first control group, 99.4 percent passed the state math exam.."
"Our scores went from 68%(passing) to 83% in third grade and from 48% to 84% in fourth grade. Teachers told me that they were pleased to see their students using the strategies they were taught by using the Conquer Math while taking the test. We, at Lamar Elementary, know that Conquer Math played a big part in our test score increases."
"Our bilingual students in grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th used the Conquer Math program in preparation for the state assessment exam. As a result, our scores soared from 0 to 96% in the 3rd, 0 to 81% in the 4th and 0 to 69% in the 5th. The teachers are excited and project an even higher increase this coming year. We recommend the Test Professor Study Program to anyone who wishes to increase their math scores."
"All students who used Conquer Math in last summers re-mediation classes passed the state assessment exam for their grade level. Weve had great success using the program, and its great to use both in class and for independent study. About 90% of our students passed the October tests and theyve really given credit to the Conquer Math as a study guide."
"The Test Professor: Conquer Math has been reviewed by our instructional staff and judged to be a valuable resource for parents seeking to understand the content of the State Assessment Exam and what experiences their children may need to be successful."
"Math terminology has changed so much since parents were in the classroom that parents many times feel lacking in their knowledge of math concepts to help their child study. Conquer Math contains complete explanations which help parents help their children understand how to work the math problems."
"Using Conquer Math helped to raise my math score in just one year. My teachers used it daily in the classroom and during after school tutorials. I have recommended it to several principals."
"I found your tests to be very good and "right on" as far as the skills go. They test skills that are covered in our curriculum and skills that are tested on the Terra Nova. The tests could be used for practice or an assessment. The tutorial sections would be good for students who had missed the instruction or just needed extra help."
"I reviewed the Test Professor Online website and liked it so much I asked our math curriculum ISS to also review. With more students having access to internet, I think this way of learning is a sure ticket for improving math skills and helping students increase achievement. The practice test are aligned with our curriculum. The explanations are clear and understandable. The format is great. We especially liked the way the problems changed each time you went in to practice. The problems are "thinking, higher level" and appropriate for our Terra Nova benchmarks."
Just wanted to let you know that I had my private tutoring student take the Level 8 diagnostic test and the results corresponded across the board with his LEAP test scores. It really helped to demonstrate to him and his mother his weak areas. He is a student who grasps overall concepts very quickly and then stops. His excuse was always I didn't try or I could have done better. Taking this online test, for as long as he wanted to take it (he got up, had a coke, etc) really demonstrated to him the areas where he needs work. I ordered the study guide today and look forward to using it and the online diagnostic testing to improve his ability level. Thank you for providing this service. I am looking forward to continuing to develop my tutoring practice and you will be a valuable resource.
