In the second edition of Strategies That Work there is a chapter devoted to test-taking. In a school that I work with, one struggling beyond description with testing, we are going to do a 3-8 intensive study and plan using this chapter. I can't tell you if it will help, but I can pretty much tell you, it won't make things worse because that is just not possible.
