Stress Tips
By Aviv T. and Brianna T.
We want to help kids who are stressing about tests feel more relaxed. We also want them to know how they can beat the stress and the test. To us, test stress is just like a disease, if left untreated, it gets worse and worse. We want to stop it as much as we can before it starts.
Stress Tips

Eat healthy foods, exercise, and get enough sleep. Find something to relax yourself. Be optimistic. Don’t be discouraged if you get a bad grade on one big test. If your friends have better grades, don’t let that discourage you.
To Do List for Test Taking

Test Taking Tips

Read directions carefully and skip hard questions. Look for clue words. Look over your test at least twice. Eliminate 2 OUT OF 4 answers that don’t make sense. For essays, use bullets as jump starts for paragraphs. Restate the question for an introduction and the main points of an essay for a conclusion. Write notes for a reading passage to look back at important information. Use a 5 Ws and How chart (who, what, where, why, and when.) Use SQ3R (survey, question, read, recite, review.)
Big Test Study Tips

Consult parents and teachers if you are scared of tests. Study with your parents, friends or siblings. To help study, use mnemonics (i.e.) Lions Hate Stupid Balloons (Lungs, Heart, Stomach, Brain.) Put test dates on a calendar or chart to remember. Study more than one night; study a little each day leading up to the test. Use flash cards for math and science tests.
