	Tests are the primary measure of a student's knowledge throughout his or her academic career, however, they do not always give a true picture of a student's knowledge or abilities.
	This month's newsletter will help you prepare students for tests and understand more about the neurodevelopmental demands of test-taking.

ASKING THE WRONG QUESTIONS
Dr. Levine & Mary-Dean Barringer write about the new show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" and give the real scoop on intelligence.

In April, 63% of voters said their favorite parts of the monthly newsletter were the articles.

How often do you and your student/child talk about their strengths and weaknesses? Results will be posted in our June newsletter.
