1. Have your students take a Benchmark Test. This will identify their individual strengths and weaknesses.

2. Students can then work on their weakest content areas using Practice Questions, vocabulary activities, skill work, movies, games, and other site resources.

3. Retest students periodically to analyze their progress.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed.
