Testing Tips:
Study and ask questions- Don’t just read through notes. Instead, keep everything tidy and focus on what the teacher was telling you about them. If you don’t understand something, ask a teacher about it. It’s their job to help you prepare for this test, and you won’t be a burden by asking for some tutoring.
Don’t stress- Stressing will make you second guess yourself and make the test harder than it needs to be. The week of testing, relaxing and keeping a positive idea about passing will definitely help keep your head straight.
Eat healthy and get a good night’s sleep- Self-care is vital to getting anything done, and if you take care of yourself the results will prove it.
