The Morning Of
The morning of the test is when students are most nervous, anxious, and stressed out.
Here are a list of tips to helps students move away from these feelings and become more confident:
- Eat breakfast- SUPER important!
- Arrive to school with plenty of time
- Avoid people who stress you out
- Remind yourself of the hard work and preparation for the test
- Pause for a few minutes and take a deep breath
- Remind yourself of your exam strategy
These tips will help students feel better for taking the test and move away from those harsh emotions. All of these tips are super important.
Test Taking Tips Slideshow
created through Animoto
I created a slideshow that provide students with a statement that I believe is true. I wrote, “The most successful students use test taking tips before taking an exam.” I believe that this statement is true and students are more likely to perform better on exams if they practice these tips on the blog. This is just a reminder for students to recall test taking tips and apply them before the exam to see improvements.

Testing Tip Number 2
Make a Plan
A week or so before a test if not done by the teacher already. Students can asked their teacher to go over what criteria is going to be on the test and more specific questions depending on the subject including:
- Can you use a calculator?
- Chapters 1, 2, 3? All?
- Is it information within the textbook?
- Is it from information from class only? (group work)
- Number of questions
- Time limit ( if there is one)
- Format- multiple choice, written, T/F
*All of these questions are important to know before taking a test. Knowing these factors reduces stress anxiety and allows students to perform better on their exam or assessment. Having this information allows students to study and not worry about how the test is going to be set up. Students should always be set up for success. There is no reason why a teacher should not include this information to students.*

I am making this blog to inform parents, teachers, and caregivers some test taking tips they should try and implement with their students and children. These are tips that will ease children’s thoughts of test taking and will discuss the importance of time management. I hope to hear from some of you in the comments!
