TEST TAKING TIPS
You can assist your child to prepare for testing by doing the following:
1. Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep before a test, and make sure your child eats properly the day of a test.
2. Maintain a pleasant home environment and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Try to make the morning of the test a pleasant one. Do not add to your child’s stress.
3. Ensure that your child is present during testing (children generally perform better when taking tests in their groups rather than at a make-up time).
4. Get your child to school on time the day of the test.
5. Wish your child good luck each morning of the test. Tell your child that he/she is special and that you believe in him/her!
6. If the test is on a subject for which you can review (such as a spelling test), help your child go over the material.
7. Remind your child to listen carefully to the instructions from the teacher and to read thedirections and each question carefully.
8. Explain to your child the importance of using time wisely. If your child gets stuck on a question, encourage him or her to make the best guess and move on.
9. Tell your child to attempt to answer all of the questions and not to leave any blank.
10. Encourage your child to stay focused on the test, even if other students finish early.
