Studying for a test can be overwhelming for some upper elementary kids. Students can feel confident and ready to take tests with a little preparation and practice. Here are a few ideas my students gave me when I asked them, “How Do You Prepare For A Test?”
LISTEN IN CLASS
What the teacher is teaching and writing on the board is important and will probably be on the test, so listen and take good notes.
USE STUDY GUIDES
If given one, use the study guide which outlines the featured information on a test.
ASK PARENTS FOR HELP
After you have studied on your own, ask your parents to design a practice test for you to take both written and/or orally. Have them create a short game with whatever it is you are studying instead of just cramming info into your brain from notes.
WRITE
Many students suggested writing what will be on the test 3 times really helps them remember key information.
LOOK IT OVER
Get into bed, look over what will be on the test so it sinks into your brain, turn off the light, and get a good night’s sleep.
