The National Achievement Test (NAT) is a part of the challenges that Grade 3 and Grade 6 are required to meet. It is a test to determine how much our pupils have learned in elementary. NAT is easy if one knows the secrets of successfully dealing with it. There are different ways to achieve a high NAT scores. Teacher’s dedication to their professions is the culprit to uplift the quality education. Weaknesses can be replaced by strengths if pupils allocate a few minutes of their time everyday to study. Furthermore, mastery of the skills in every subject taught played a great role in achieving high scores. Teachers have a hard time recalling some facts because of individual differences but repetitions of what the pupils saw, answered and discussed have helped them. Fortunately, they were provided with various reviewers that they utilized every now and then. They discovered their weak spot upon answering the questions provided in the materials.
It is not just a matter of taking exams but knowing how to take them making educated guesses and utilizing time is the most productive way. Every pupil must learn to use strategy and judgment in answering questions. This will lead in obtaining high scores thus attaining quality education.
