To help your child be successful, here are some test taking tips.
1. Go to bed early. Being well rested helps with concentration.
2. Have a healthy breakfast. Try to limit sugar or carbs as they will give an initial boost but then can cause a crash in energy.
3. Be on time. Getting to school late causes students to be rushed. This can cause them to feel stressed and anxious. This also can affect their ability to be focused.
4. Be prepared. Having No. 2 pencils sharpened and erasers ready ensures that your student will feel ready for the test.
5. Do not miss any days if at all possible. If an appointment has to be scheduled, choose the afternoon. Missing a day will cause your child to have to make it up later and they may have to test in an unfamiliar area. Try your best to make it to all days of testing.
With these tips in mind, you will be giving your child the best preparation for the CRCT.
