The Benefits of Practice
One thing we all know about testing or any other discipline is that practice will improve your performance. Professional testers are very aware of the “practice effect” and the advantage it gives job applicants who repeatedly take the same employment tests over and over again.
Hundreds of thousands of high school students spend millions of dollars every year to take SAT and ACT test preparation classes. Educational Testing Service, the agency that writes the SAT, recommends practice and even offers practice tests to their customers.
Allwrite-Testing’s Practice Tests and Test Preparation Workshops give applicants for promotion on police and fire departments the opportunity to improve their scores and their chances of being promoted. Those who take our practice tests and workshops enjoy many benefits:
- Feedback: With each practice test you will get regular feedback on the progress of your studying. You don’t have to wait until you take the official test to learn what your strengths and weaknesses are. Our questions are keyed to the pages in the text or the policy section on which they are based, so you can go right back to those areas where you need to improve.
- Fine-tune Your Studying: After taking a practice test you will find that you will study harder and with more focus. You’ll learn to see questions in the reading material that you never knew were there.
- See What Test Writers See: Find out what testing experts think is important in your study materials. Get the perspective of a testing expert, someone who is not a police officer or firefighter, just like the person who will be writing your official test.
- Practice The Test-Taking Process: Practice reading and answering questions that are designed to challenge you. Practice reading complex questions and answer choices thoroughly and carefully. Practice your timing so you don’t run out of time or make silly mistakes by rushing.
- Stay In The Books: Taking regularly scheduled practice tests and knowing you will get valuable feedback will keep you motivated and in the books. You’ll be less likely to take a few days off if you know a practice test is scheduled.
