It's Test Time!
The big day has arrived. Your child has the test in front of him/her, pencil in hand. Here are some tips that students can use:

Scan the test before starting. Notice how long it is and what kinds of questions are asked. Then choose the right working pace.
Read Carefully. This applies to directions, questions and answers. Watch for changes in instructions. Ask for help if something is not clear.
Look for clue words. Sometimes one word will give away the answer. Also, clues may be found in other test questions.
Don't spend too much time on any one question, unless most of the test is already completed.
Save time to look over the test. Did you follow the instructions? Are the answers neat and correct?
