1. Encourage your child to
study over a period of time rather than "cram" the night
before.
2. Encourage your child to listen carefully to all
test-taking directions given by the teacher and to ask
questions about those directions that are not clear.
3. See that your child gets his/her regular amount of sleep
before the tests and is, in general, well-rested.
4. Make sure that your child eats his/her usual breakfast on
the day of the test. Hunger can detract from a good test
performance.
5. Encourage your child to do his/her best.
6. Find out from his/her teacher what you can do to help
your child feel better about taking tests if your child is
nervous at test time.
7. Make sure that your child is in school during the testing
sessions. Do not plan any doctor or dental appointments on
test dates.
8. Make sure that you are aware of your child's performance
and that you can help interpret the results to your child
when test results become available from the teacher.
9. Remember to keep well-informed about your child's tests.
Know how test results are used, and how they will affect
your child's placement in school.
10. If there are major differences between standardized test
scores and school grades, find out why.
11. The best way to prepare for tests is to study, know the
work, and take the right courses.
