Tutors for Star Testing

While the older kids in Redondo Beach are wrapping up the California Standardization tests and getting ready for finals, middle school students at Parras Middle School are gearing up for Star Testing next week. Some math classes are assigning rigorous review packets to prepare their students for next week, and Study Hut’s tutors are here to offer assistance to be sure students get the most out of the review. Though it may seem like busy work, it benefits Redondo students in two ways.

In the short run, these reviews prepare students for the type of material they will encounter on the timed 15-20 question sections while testing the endurance of their focus. A lot of students are unaware of the importance of these tests; they simply see it as a week of no homework and awkward schedules. The tutors at Study Hut have all been through this process before and understand that doing well on the test is beneficial for the school, while also giving a student a bearing on how well they rank among other students in their grade across the country. Opting for tutoring will not only boost a student’s confidence over the material, but will also help them practice strategies for Star Testing next week and in similar tests the future, namely the SAT.

In the slightly longer run, the reviews are ultimately for finals at the end of the year. With five weeks left in the school year, it is best that students of all ages begin to prepare for finals. What better way to prepare for a year-end cumulative test than with a packet that already covers material from September forward, including number classification, expressions, equations, inequalities, systems, and graphing? It is most important for middle school students to prepare, and to prepare correctly. The concept of “finals” is most likely still new to them, and developing proper study habits now is crucial to their success in the next level of education. Our tutors are skilled in the art of preparing for finals; preparation for Star Testing is the perfect time to come in to learn and practice the craft!
