Test Prep

Test-taking is made interesting and engaging at Baker & Bloom. That’ s because we understand that there is much more to it than just rote memorization. Practice is important, but if a student is not equipped with the right test-taking skills, then repeated drilling just solidifies the wrong habits.
Our students complete our test-taking courses with transferrable skills and knowledge. We help our students improve their active reading skills while broadening their general knowledge in history, science, literature, social sciences, and the humanities.
Our fun and interactive classes are aimed at increasing engagement and interest in test-taking. When classes are enjoyable and the test is no longer daunting, your child will feel confident and thrive on test day.
