· Relax. Try not to be too nervous before the test. Take a few deep breaths. Close your eyes for a moment and tell yourself to stay calm and focused. Do your best. Some of the questions may seem hard, but keep trying and don’t give up.

· Ask ahead. Find out beforehand if you're expected to finish the entire test. Many timed test have far more questions than most students will be able to answer in the time allowed.

· Listen Up! Pay close attention to the teacher's instructions, and carefully read the test instructions to make sure you understand exactly what you are supposed to do.

· On your mark, get set - whoa! There's no need to rush, so take your time before answering each question.

· Watch out for tricks. On multiple choice tests, consider all the choices before selecting the one best answer. Beware of choices that are close to the right answer - but aren't.

· Keep track. Make sure that you match the number of your answer to the question number on your answer sheet. When answering question #3, fill in the #3 circle on the answer sheet.

· Do not let other test takers distract you!  It makes no difference who finishes first or last.

· Doodle bugs. Completely erase incorrect or accidental pencil marks so the sensor doesn't record them as answers.

· Double jeopardy. Make sure you haven't accidentally filled in two answers for the same question.

· Move on. If you are having a hard time with one question, leave it and go on to the other questions. Come back later to the hard one - if there's time.

· Change it. As a rule, you should stick with your first answer. But if you've thought about it afterward, and now think that another answer is better, go ahead and change it.

· Check it. Check to be sure you have not skipped anything. If you finish early, go back and proof your answers again. But don’t change anything unless you are sure. Studies show that the first answer you choose is usually the right one.

One of the best things about standardized tests is that when they're over, they're over! The best thing to do after a test, for both parents and students, is to breathe a big sigh of relief - and then celebrate!!!!!
