Terra Nova Testing is the week of October 18.  Here are some general test taking tips for your student.

 

 

 From www.testtakingtips.com

 

  • If you are anxious about your child's test it's ok, but try to keep cool around your  child, you don't want them to get anxious about their tests too.
  • Encourage your child to do well, but don't pressure him/her, you may stress  him/her out,  it is important for your child to stay relaxed on the test.
  • Keep a positive attitude about tests.
  • Provide a quiet, well lighted area with little distractions to help your child study efficiently.
  • Mark down test days on your calendar so you and your child are both aware of  testing dates.
  • Make sure that your child gets enough sleep on the night before the test.
  • Ensure that your child eats a healthy breakfast and avoid heavy foods that may  make him/her groggy and avoid high sugar foods that may make him/her hyper.
  • Make sure that your child gets up early enough so that he/she will be on time to  school.
  • Let your child relax for a few hours before bedtime, it can be stressful for a child  to study all night.
  • Talking about the test with your child can relieve stress about test taking.
  • If your child is struggling on their tests, talk to them about it and meet with their  teacher to find out the best way to help your child.
  • Praise/reward your child when they do well on a test or for their hard work  preparing for a test.
  • Encourage them to do better if they don't do well.
  • Review the test with your child after they have taken it and go over any mistakes  they have made and make sure that they understand what they did wrong and how they can improve for the next test.
