Advanced Study Skills and ISEE Strategies
In Advanced Study Skills and ISEE Strategies, boys will go over helpful techniques to aid in learning and retaining what they learn. Time will be allocated for how to take notes with shorthand, how to study from notes efficiently, how to annotate texts with Post-Its, how to cross-reference ideas across chapters for thinking, writing, and conversing. We will review the essential structural and stylistic elements of good writing and journaling in relation to their summer reading. We will review ideas on how to improve executive functioning at the end of middle school and as students transition to the high school classroom. Finally, students will familiarize themselves with the different sections of the ISEE test and review test-taking strategies with each section for improving their score.
