Elementary school finals

I remember it well: it was the end of grade 8. After weeks of practice, the day of the final test for Primary education, then called cito test, had arrived. The tables were parted, the pencils sharpened, and for several hours at a time the class was in high concentration. Much depended on this test: for some, the cito score would determine whether they would attend their chosen high school. It was a moment when all our knowledge and skills would have to come together. But despite this pressure, I went into the test relaxed. I knew what the questions would look like, what was expected of me, and what I was up to. This was because of one thing: I had practiced.

Good preparation is everything

Actually, the real final test was nothing different from the practice exams we had taken in class the days before. Because we had spent three days taking old final tests, everything felt familiar on the day of the real cito. I knew exactly which parts would be covered, namely language, study skills, math and world orientation. I knew how much time I had for each section and how to allocate that time properly. I knew how the questions would be worded and how the answer system worked. I had even thought about a snack that would give me sustained energy and concentration (tip: bananas and nuts). Without this knowledge and preparation, I would have been a lot less confident and probably would have scored less on the cito test. I can therefore well understand that many elementary school students want to prepare well for the cito test. It is an exciting period and they want to score as well as they can. However, many students do not know how to approach this preparation. Our cito training is the solution for this!
