A child is best prepared for testing when they are well rested, well fed, and have a positive attitude. You can help your child do his or her best by considering these tips:
·
Make sure that your child is in school and on
time on test days. Reschedule dentist appointments and other out-of-school time
on non-testing days.
·
Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep
and eats a healthy breakfast before each day of testing.
·
Remind your child that these tests are only one measure of what he or she has
learned. Emphasize that you have confidence in his or her ability to do the
best job possible.
·
Remind your child to listen to the directions
and read each question carefully during testing. Encourage your child to ask
the teacher for help if he or she does not understand the directions.
