Notes from the Counselor- Test Taking Tips

Tips from the Counselor- Test Taking Strategies

We are quickly approaching the end of the school year which means your child will be taking part in standardized testing. Some children struggle with testing and test anxiety, below are some tips and tricks that will help your child be successful.

For Students: Get a good night’s sleep, have a nutritious breakfast, relax and take slow, deep breaths during testing, follow directions and read each question carefully, move on if you don’t know an answer and come back to it later.

For Parents: Make sure your child gets a good night’s rest, make sure your child eats breakfast, make sure your child gets to school on time, send your child to school with words of praise and support, practice deep breathing with your child, send a letter of encouragement with your child that they can read before the test.
