12Tests – Top Tips
If your student is taking a test especially a state test (STAR), explain to them the reason why
they take tests in school. Some tests are given to check what your student has learned so far in
class. Others measure how well they’re doing compared to other kids their age or in the same
grade across the United States.
Many of these tests ask you to ‘fill in the circle’ in front of the right answer. Be sure to
emphasis to your student to fill it in completely or it may not be counted by the test checker.
Also remind them to read each answer choice before they mark anything. For example once
choice might be ‘all the above’ If you mark the first right answer they may not see that they are
all correct!
If your student says that they do not like tests, they are not alone. Many students don’t. Let
them know that tests are nothing to stress over.
Three important things to remind your student about how to do their best on a test:
1.
Get a good night’s sleep
2.
Eat a good breakfast
3.
Get to school on time
What Else can I Do?
Remind your student that no one test can measure what a great kid they are
Do some relaxation exercises with your student, like deep breathing or silent counting
backward from 10. Suggest he or she can do them before a test to stay relaxed and focused
Remember to praise your student for good efforts on assignments and tests. Children who feel
good about themselves do better on tests
Review together what your child has learned so far this year in reading, math. Social science and
social studies. Go over lesson or chapter tests your child has brought. Then both of you make
up questions and quiz each other
Advise your student to read all directions and questions carefully, and to answer the easiest
questions first.
Remind your student to answer all the questions. Stress that’s if he or she doesn’t know the
answer, it’s ok to guess….it could be the right one! For tough multiple-choice questions
suggest a process of elimination to rule out the obviously wrong answers and narrow the
choices.
