Welcome to Test Quest, where you'll set forth on an adventure to pass the Ultimate Challenge: the Proficiency Test.

Let's meet our cast of characters.

In Episode One, the Questers discover each of their own learning styles. A visit to a chocolate factory reveals how each learns most effectively about the making of chocolate: by using his/her own learning style -- visual, auditory or kinesthetic

In Episode Two, the Questers tell us how they studied the information they learned at the chocolate factory. They then receive phone calls asking for help with study techniques and explain to the callers how discovering one's learning style helps to determine how to study.

In Episode Three, the Questers are contestants on a quiz show that poses questions about studying and taking tests. Who's the winner? Tune in and find out -- and get lots of ideas on how to improve your study plan.

To help the Questers (and YOU, too), we've created some web pages that might help you pass the Ohio Proficiency Test. Our site features pages on:
