An Oct. 7 ABC News report stated that "at a growing number of the country's best liberal arts colleges … the SAT college admissions test has outlived its usefulness."
There are several aspects to this problem:
1. When teachers put all their energy into helping their kids pass tests, this is not necessarily preparing them to be able to do well in life or in higher education.
2. Test scores have been declining steadily despite tons of money being poured into the system.
There needs to be a technology of study to pull this out of the headspin it's in.
Study technology, developed does in fact, exist.
It was developed by L. Ron Hubbard when he found that education levels simply were inadequate for people to get the skill required from their Scientology training.
A simple outline of it is available through the Scientology Handbook.
Applied Scholastics International is a secular program that provides training in study technology to educators, mentors, tutors and parents.
With this technology not only do test scores improve but so does actual performance.
