Dear Parents,

Test Taking Tips
Get plenty of sleep the night before the test.
Eat a good breakfast each morning (Orange juice is a good brain food.).
Be on time and alert.
If you wear glasses, be sure to have them and wear them.
Don’t rush through the test, but don’t spend too much time on any one question.
If you finish early, check back over your answers on that section only.
If you don’t know an answer make your best, reasonable guess.
Don’t panic!  Try to tackle each question one at a time rather than thinking about the whole test at once.

 

I am confident our students at PCIS will do their best each day of testing.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Sincerely,

Joe Blevins
