In order to maximize students’

performance, listed below are a few suggestions for parents to follow:

1. Ensure child gets to bed at an appropriate time.

2. Awake at a time that does not require a child to rush, that could increase

anxiety.

3. Eat a healthy breakfast.

4. Reassure child that this test does not affect his/her grades, and do not

discuss the test in excess.

5. Arrive to school on time. Please try not to make any appointments during

testing times.
