DON'T WORRY!
HERE ARE SOME TIPS AND TRICKS TO HELP PARENTS AND STUDENTS!
Test Taking Tips for Students:
* Read the question before you look at the answers.
* Eliminate answers you know aren't right.
* If you do not know the answer, make a smart guess and select an answer.
* Mark your answers carefully.
* Make sure you work at a pace that will give you enough time to finish the test.
* If you have time left, go back and check your answers.
Test Taking Tips for Parents/Guardians:
* Praise your child for the things he or she does well, and be supportive of his or her
efforts, especially in areas or activities that are challenging. Kids who feel good about
themselves and their abilities - and who aren't fearful about making mistakes -
will feel more confident and less anxious when taking the test.
* Talk with your child about what they're doing in class and ask what he or she is
reading. Studies show that kids who talk with their families on a weekly basis about
school and what they read score higher on the national standardized reading
test than kids who talk about these things with their families less often.
* Limit your child's TV time. Studies show that kids who watch fewer than three hours
of television a day scored higher on the national reading test than those who watch more.
* Express a positive attitude about the test and confidence in your child's ability to do
well on it. Research shows that parents' and teachers' attitudes influence children's
attitudes. So if you're upbeat and encouraging about the test, your child is likely to feel
good about it.
* Encourage your child to read-newspapers, magazines, food labels, recipes, letters,
and instructions, in addition to fiction and non-fiction books. Test makers draw on a
wide variety of formats when choosing items to evaluate reading comprehension skills.
