Want to learn more?

The information in this document is just a teaser.  We have included only a few websites because websites come and go. To learn more, check out the Internet and use a search engine, such as GOOGLE (www.google.com), to find sites on the topics we have referenced. Start with "study skills," "test taking," or another word or phrase that describes your interest.

Practice, practice practice

The best way to improve most skills is through practice. If you want to work on your reading comprehension skills or your less preferred learning style, a good resource is the Western/Pacific Literacy Network site at http://literacynet.org/cnnsf/home.html. This site has a number of interesting stories on a variety of topics. The stories comprise modules because they provide the information in different formats and include interactive activities related to the content. Start with the current story or select the story archives for more. You can improve your test taking techniques and minimize test anxiety by taking practice tests that you find online. Use the Internet and CTC's resources to do the best you can in achieving your educational goals.
