Tips to Prepare for Test Days

• Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep on nights before testing.
• Encourage your child to eat breakfast (at home or free at school).
• Remind your child to do his/her best and offer positive reinforcement for effort over performance.
• Be aware of signs of stress (stomachache, headache, acting out, etc.).
• Help your child relieve stress by talking, playing, and/or exercising together.
• Encourage positive self-talk and belly-breathing.
• Set realistic expectations about the outcome of the test and avoid over-emphasizing the importance of a single test.
• Encourage your child to use the time allowed (2 hours, plus 1 extra hour if needed) to read and think carefully and to check over his/her answers.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact your child’s teacher or Elizabeth Johnson, Testing Coordinator, at ejohnson1@wcpss.net
