[LM_NET] MS and HS testing tip

[Amy Watkins <amywatkinsreads@YAHOO.COM>]

This is a testing trick that worked in the area of Reading Comprehension for a 
young lady retaking the Reading portion of an RN entrance test.  She wanted to be 
more competitive; this is an area that is generally low for her.

I asked her:  how would you google this article?  (The reading passage on the 
standardized test).  Those power words are your Main Idea!  

That's all I said.  She took the test yesterday morning and raised her score from a 
78 to a 94.7.  That's very significant and although she was more relaxed the second 
time taking the test, she said that tip made it so understandable.

In the season of standardized testing, I wanted to share this with you in the hopes 
that others would benefit as well.
