Helpful ACAP Testing Tips

Hello parents/guardians and students! I am going to share just a few helpful tips to allow us to have a most successful testing experience.

Attendance during testing is crucial. Please make sure your child is at school on time.

The Night Before the Test

• Make sure your child doesn't go to bed upset.
• Goes to bed early enough to get plenty of rest (at least 9 hours of rest).
• Eat a normal meal.
• Encourage your child to try to do well on the test.
• Don't let them do anything that would make them extremely tired on test day.

The Morning of the Test

• Have your child get up early enough to avoid hurrying.
• Have them eat a good breakfast, but don't overdo it.
• Have your child dress comfortably.
• Send your child off to school with confidence- building words of praise and support. Ex. "You'll do Great! Believe in yourself! I love you!"
• Remind your child to read the directions carefully and look at all answers before choosing one.

After the Test

• Reward them for having tried hard on the test.
• Be sure to ask them how they think they did on the test.
