Studying isn't the only way to prepare for tests. Here's a quiz to see if your child is preparing properly.
Give yourself five points for something you do often, zero points for something you never do, or any score in between.
____1. I provide a healthy breakfast before school. ____2. I make sure my child gets enough rest before exams. ____3. I encourage my child to have an "I can do" attitude. ____4. I suggest that my child wear comfortable clothes on test days. ____5. I review test taking tips with my child, such as "Answer the easiest questions first."
Above 20 points means you're helping your child do his/her best on tests. Fifteen to 19 is average. Below 15 means your child needs more support before tests.
