Tips To Help You Do
Your Very Best!
Be Physically Ready for the Test
• Get at least 9 hours of
sleep.
• Eat a healthy breakfast
each day (low-sugar
cereals and foods).
• Get to school on time!
• Talk to your parents
each night about your
test and how you did.
It’s O.K. to Be a Little
Nervous!
• Just do your best.
• Some questions
will be easy, and
some will be hard.
• It’s O.K. not to
know all the
answers.
Listen Carefully to the Directions
• Some questions ask
you to find the right
answer, and some ask
for the wrong answer.
• Listen very closely to
what is being asked.
• Read all the answers
before filling in a
bubble.
Organize Your Testing Area
• Get comfortable at
your desk.
• Keep your pencils in
an area you can easily
reach.
• Don’t have scratch
paper or test materials
overlapping.
Take Your Time!
• Scan the section you’re
taking to see how many
problems there are.
• Pace yourself.
• Don’t spend too much
time on one problem –
skip problems you can’t
solve easily and come
back to them later.
Reading Test Tips
• Read the
questions first.
• Then read the
story or passage.
• Read to answer
the questions, not
to finish the story.
Math Test Tips
• Take your time –
going too quickly
often leads to silly
mistakes
• Show your work –
don’t try to do
problems in your
head!
Put Down the Right Answer!
• Eliminate answers you
know are wrong.
• If you get down to two
choices, make your
best guess.
• Go with your first
choice – don’t change
it unless you’re sure.
Other Reminders
• Bubble in circles
completely – stay in the
lines.
• Completely erase stray
marks.
• Try to complete all the
problems – don’t leave
any blank!
Other Reminders
• Trust your teacher to
have you ready.
• Between tests, have fun
at recess!
• Do your best!
You’re Going to Do a
Great Job!
