Students who feel comfortable with the test format will be less likely to suffer from test anxiety. Practice is the best way to ensure success with regard to standardized testing. Test-Taking Strategies Talk about testing with your child - Be open and positive as you encourage them to take testing seriously. By discussing testing strategies and testing skills, you'll instill confidence in your child. Help your child to understand that their performance on the test will be at least partly influenced by their test-taking skills and preparation.
