*************************************************
Students may experience anxiety about taking the test. A certain degree of
anxiety is normal and may help students prepare more effectively, work
more efficiently, and remain focused during the test. Too much anxiety,
however, can negatively affect performance.
Here are some strategies for students to use to reduce test anxiety:
* Share your feelings with parents and teachers.
* Think of the test as an opportunity to show what you KNOW!
* Relax, breathe deeply and stay focused during the test.
* Read the directions carefully!
* Listen to the instructions given by the teacher.
Here are some strategies to help parents get their child ready for testing.
* See that your child is well rested and eats breakfast (at home or school)
* See that your child arrives at school on time and is relaxed.
* Encourage your child to do their best on the test.
* Try not to schedule appointments on test day.
* Remind your child to get to bed early.
* Remind your child to wear comfortable clothing.
