A Spoonful Learning
Decision-Reading System for High-Stakes Tests

Stop Missing Easy Exam Points

You don’t miss exam questions because you don’t know the material. You miss them because you misread what the question is actually asking.

I teach a structured exam-reading and decision system that helps students identify what a question is testing before they answer reducing avoidable mistakes, second-guessing, and time-pressure errors.

Proven in professional licensing, teacher certification, and other high-consequence exams. Works beyond the exams listed below.

How the System Works

Watch the overview below.

The Real Problem Most Test-Takers Face

Many capable students experience the same frustration and it’s not a content problem. It’s a question-reading and decision problem.

“I knew this, but still got it wrong.”

Correct knowledge applied to the wrong task.

“I narrowed it down to two answers and guessed.”

Two traps survive when there’s no decision system.

“I ran out of time even though I understood the material.”

Time pressure disrupts pacing and judgment.

“The questions felt tricky or misleading.”

Wording is engineered to reward misinterpretation.

Most exams are designed with:

  • Trap wording
  • Subtle shifts in meaning
  • Time pressure that disrupts judgment
  • Answer choices that reward misinterpretation

Studying harder doesn’t fix this.

Without a system for how to read and decide, practice alone reinforces the same mistakes especially under stress.

Why Traditional Test Prep Falls Short

Most prep programs focus on content review, repetition, and practice questions without diagnostic correction. They assume students already know how to read exam questions correctly.

High scorers

Classify questions before answering.

Average scorers

React to surface wording and familiar phrases.

Under pressure

Strong students misfire without a repeatable system.

What I Teach

This is structured decision-making under exam conditions.

  • Pause before answering
  • Identify what the question is doing
  • Distinguish relevant vs distracting information
  • Respond to what is being tested not what sounds familiar

The result: fewer avoidable errors, calmer decisions, and better pacing.

Exams This Applies To

Works for any exam with complex wording, scenario prompts, reading under time pressure, and high stakes.

Professional & Career Exams

  • Teacher Certification (FORT, FTCE, Praxis, TExES, CBEST)
  • Nursing (TEAS, HESI)
  • Civil Service, Police, Fire, Government Entrance
  • Trade & professional certification exams

College & Admissions Exams

  • ACT
  • SAT
  • ASVAB

If your exam isn’t listed, this can still apply.

Exam Question Diagnostic Session

We’ll identify where misinterpretation happens, why it repeats under pressure, and how to fix it with a structured decision-reading method.

  • Analyze your current question-reading process
  • Identify decision traps and patterns
  • Improve pacing and reduce second-guessing
  • Leave with a repeatable strategy
