How can I help my child get ready for the test?

You are an important part of your child's education. Some things you can do to help your child are:

  • Discuss the test with your child. Make sure they are not scared or anxious.

  • Take a practice test with your child. Practice tests can be found at the Washington Comprehensive Assessment Program (WCAP) Porta: https://wa.portal.cambiumast.com/index.html and click on the Practice and Training Tests button.

  • Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and a nutritious breakfast before testing.

  • Review test results with your child and discuss with their teacher where they might need additional help.


Your child's teacher is the best place to start if you have other questions about testing or available accessibility resources.

  4. Do your best to create a comfortable and calm environment, and avoid saying anything that may increase your child's anxiety.
  5. Ensure your child that you will always love them regardless of the test results, and encourage them to give their best effort.
