The current book, Pass That Math Test, moves from the effective instructional strategies to successful test preparation in mathematics. The book is based on the successful test preparation career of Dr. Charles Hatch, who has prepared nearly 20,000 students over the past 25 years, primarily for the NTE/PRAXIS exams. Micki Gibson, a co-presenter at workshops across the Southeast, draws on her experience as a math teacher and enthusiasm for all aspects of mathematics.
“Dr. Charles Hatch has really helped Newberry College improve our PRAXIS scores. His practical approach to passing the test has truly accelerated the success of our students. He shows students how to apply what they know to the test, and this is a critical skill in passing the test. Students who have struggled with the test are now smiling and moving ahead in their teacher education program because of the dedication and expertise of Dr. Hatch.”
—Dr. Cindy Johnson-Taylor, Chair, Department of Education, Newberry College, Newberry, SC
“This book clearly pinpoints the ways that students should study to prepare for math tests, and the skills that students must have to do well on these critical career-making or -breaking exams. Both students taking these kinds of tests and the professors preparing students would benefit from the knowledge imparted here.”
—Faith W. Mann, MIS, EDS, Assistant Principal, Suburban Atlanta Middle School
