Mixed reviews. "This DVD was fun to watch and is good because it can help kids do better at school." Most thought it was okay but difficult and boring. "The reading was too hard and too long. But, it helped to show how it is done." "I learned some of these things at school." "I liked it. I could learn some new things from it."
Excellent principles of test-taking. Presentation is not particularly exciting the information and materials is beneficial to students who want to improve their test scores. This would make a great tool for teachers and parents to help kids take tests. Marko's nighttime job adds humor. "I liked the little stage show that Marko the Pencil did at the end with the jokes." Also, the play on words is clever during the "golden stylus" segment. I.e.. Pointers, sharpen skills - coming from the pencil character. The song at the end is catchy. Great for kids who are struggling with taking tests.
With the help of Mark the Pencil, students ace a practice test by learning how to read passages for meaning, underline key words, eliminate poor choices, and determine the best answers. His tips are super-effective and help students stay focused.
