    Before the Test

     

    Be prepared

     

    Many teachers will send information home about testing schedules and class preparation plans. Information that you should know includes:

    • What is the test?
    • Will the test results affect your child, school, or both?
    • Are there ways that you can help your child prepare for the test?
    • Look closely as the scheduled testing days and make sure that your child attends school on those days.  Do not schedule appointments during these times.
     

    Help your child in areas that are difficult for her/him

     

    If your child has struggled with a particular area or subject in the past, you may be able to help her/him overcome some of that difficulty by providing some extra practice. You may ask the teacher for work that allows your child some extra practice. 

     

     

     

    On Test Day

     

    Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast

     

    Many teachers report that students who don't do well on tests haven't gotten enough sleep, and haven't eaten breakfast on the morning of the test; doing both of these things will ensure that your child will be able to perform at their very best.

     

    Remain positive

     

    Staying calm will help your child stay calm.  Encourage your child to do their best and to be confident in their abilities.

     

    On a Daily Basis

     

    In addition to these strategies, there are a number of ways that you can maximize your child's learning capabilities throughout the school year, which can lead to confident test-taking. Some of these strategies include:

    • Assisting your child with homework and ensuring that your child is completing all homework assignments
    • Helping him/her to develop good study habits, thinking skills, and a positive attitude towards education from an early age
    • Ensuring that your child has good attendance at school
    • Staying in communication with your child's teacher
    • Encouraging your child to read as much as possible, and to increase his/her vocabulary - even reading magazines, newspapers, and comic books regularly will help improve his/her reading skills
    • Looking for educational games and programs that engage your child
