TAKS Tips for Parents
1. Have your student go to bed early the night before the test. Everyone's brain works better when it is rested.
2. Have your student eat a healthy breakfast the morning of the test.
3. Coach your student to take his/her time. Most students have the tendency to rush through the test and make careless errors.
4. Encourage your student to take mental breaks during the test. They can close their eyes and think about something else for a minute or two. This will help relieve some of the stress they may be feeling!
As the TAKS test approaches, keep checking this section because we will add a few tips every month!!
