Abstract

The Math and Reading Standardized Test Plus! is a CD idea designed to help children of elementary school age prepare for and take their Standardized Tests in the subject areas previously mentioned. A learning tool of this magnitude is purely based upon the curriculum of that specified grade. By incorporating levels of easy, medium, difficult and extreme difficult, children can advance or go to any specified level and see if they are prepared for that stage. There is a pretest level that can be implemented to automatically adjust settings. By putting in what I call the “extreme factor,” children will be able to take their pretest with background classroom noise (at certain levels) thus diminishing the stressor of test anxiety, which can lead to poor performance. It also provides students during the summer months with a “heads up” approach so they will be prepared for the upcoming grade.

Claims1

Dependent claims

What I claim as my invention is the mathematics and reading standardized test PLUS fully formatted concept. Once manufactured, I truly believe that it will change the way in which elementary education students view the test taking concept. While preparing them for the exams, it will also place them in the type of environment conducive with such factors as test anxiety, not to mention other stressors. Included in this invention is the PLUS! Factor. This provides a level of preparedness for children (during the summer) who are either being promoted, or an enhancer to better inform the children who will be held over of their expectations.

This is a very important factor to consider considering students.
Too many of our youth simply are unprepared to take these exams. Their parents blame the teachers and vice versa. As the saying goes, “The fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves.” I present a way of test preparation that will revolutionize the school sytems nationwide. The children are our future;
we must help them now so they can help us in the future.
There are so many ways that a concept of this proportion can be implemented;
possibilities for other subjects are endless. From localities to state, national and even international. If given the opportunity of providing me with this patent, I promise to be as responsible as possible to the needs of our children regarding this beginning of things to come.
