Customers Agree: Test-Taking Tools & Incentives Work and More Are Needed

Nov. 1, 2007 - PRLog -- http://www.positivepromotions.com recently conducted a nationwide survey of its educational customers and the results resoundingly support the use of test-taking incentives as a tool to motivate, encourage and educate children to do better on tests.

Educators conveyed their desire for products that help students approach standardized tests with positive attitudes and renewed spirits. Parents expressed gratitude for products that alleviate anxiety and put their children at ease for forthcoming tests, as well as making parents aware of the importance of these tests. Students love these products because they know their school cared enough to provide them. After all, attitude is everything and these motivational products help put students in the frame of mind to do their best.

Educators & Parents Agree That Test-Taking Incentives:

•     Engage students

•     Provide exciting classroom activity

•     Instill confidence for better test results

•     Help convey practical tips for test taking success

•     Introduce students to experience of taking standardized tests


“I use Positive Promotions’ test-taking incentives at rallies to motivate and excite our students. Parents and former students join us to describe their personal test-taking fears and how the teachers, staff and parents helped encourage them to do their best. Without effective incentives and giveaways from Positive Promotions, these events would not be successful!”
Tamara Rosado, Parent Coordinator, Middle School 399, Bronx, NY

“Any positive encouragement that we can provide to our students can only result in positive outcomes. We love Positive Promotions’ test incentives because they stress the most important thing: do your individual best.”
Casandra Brady, PTO President, West Navarre Primary School, Navarre, FL

“I bought pencils from Positive Promotions for our students to use on their End-of-Grade tests. Our students really like them and it ensures that everyone has a #2 standard pencil to use that day. Having done this for the last four years, I can say that the students really like the pencils that give them test-taking tips.”
Tina Wilson, Test Coordinator, Sedgefield Middle School, Charlotte, NC

In response to the growing need for quality test-preparation materials, Positive Promotions has added an incredible new test-taking prep tool to its 2008 Test-Taking Incentives catalogs.
