Teachable Moments - Test Preparation

Post date: Apr 6, 2015 1:38:47 AM

ACT Aspire testing will be in May. As we move closer to the testing, we hope our students come prepared for assessment. A schedule of testing will be released within the coming weeks so students can be ready. Here are a few tips students can do to prepare.

1. Get plenty of sleep. Studies show that sleep helps test taking and test preparation habits. Weeks before the assessment, students should be practicing good sleeping habits to improve attentiveness and improve memory.

2. Do not stress. This is an assessment test, which will test things you should already know. Do not stress about studying or cramming. During the test, stay relaxed and confident.

3. Follow directions. Be attentive about directions. Tests usually have specific directions for a reason, so you should listen carefully and read your directions thoroughly.

4. Do your best. Do not skip questions. Do not be careless. DO YOUR BEST WORK.
