If they can't pass the test after the 2nd try, then I guess they need to take it a third. If they really do not know that information after a 2nd try then:1) they are an idiot and you don't need an idiot in your chapter, 2) your PE is an idiot and a bad leader. A good leader will motivate those who need to know, to know. They will make fun jeopardy type games and give little prizes to those who excel. There should be team work and sisterhood involved, not just rote memorization. The NM's big sister (sponsor-whatever) needs to be calling her and saying "Hey! I know we've got that test coming up, let's go get icecream and study together". During NM meetings these things should be discussed and have question answer sessions. Is Suzi NM doesn't know her stuff, someone needs to take her aside and say "Hey, what's going on? Are you stressed out, to busy, confused by the information, have test anxiety-what?" And try to help her.
My chapter made it a really fun thing. We had a contest. First of all we took the test but the chapter was there. Each NM had a few sisters on her Team. The NM who had to have the least amount of help on her test from her Team mates "won" and the whole team got a prize. That way-all NM's passed. But it was very motivating to study and not let your team down. There were no consequences or anything for not being prepared or coming in last, but it was fun and the team mates were encouraging, not down putting. We never had a girl fail. They didn't all get hundreds, but they all passed ligitimately. But knowing you could get a little help alleviated some of the anxiety.
