Help students build their testing confidence by using practice tests to give them a feel for what test week will be like. Having students take one practice test each week during the month leading up to testing week can help them feel calm and confident when the real test lands on their desks.

No time for practice tests? Spend some time talking to your students about what testing days will be like. Walk them through the testing process and answer any questions they have.

The more comfortable your students are with the process of testing, the less stressed they’ll be and the better they’ll perform when the big week arrives.
