Tovashal Elementary STAR Testing Tips to help you doyour very best!
Be Physically Ready for the Test • Get at least 9 hours of sleep. • Eat a healthy breakfast each day (low-sugar cereals and foods). • Get to school on time! • Talk to your parents each night about your test and how you did.
It’s O.K. to Be a LittleNervous! • Just do your best. • Some questions will be easy, and some will be hard. • It’s O.K. not to know all the answers.
Listen Carefully to the Directions • Some questions ask you to find the right answer, and some ask for the wrong answer. • Listen very closely to what is being asked. • Read all the answers before filling in a bubble.
Organize Your Testing Area • Get comfortable at your desk. • Keep your pencils in an area you can easily reach. • Don’t have scratch paper or test materials overlapping.
Take Your Time! • Scan the section you’re taking to see how many problems there are. • Pace yourself. • Don’t spend too much time on one problem – skip problems you can’t solve easily and come back to them later.
Reading Test Tips • Read the questions first. • Then read the story or passage. • Read to answer the questions, not to finish the story.
Math Test Tips • Take your time – going too quickly often leads to silly mistakes • Show your work – don’t try to do problems in your head!
Put Down the Right Answer! • Eliminate answers you know are wrong. • If you get down to two choices, make your best guess. • Go with your first choice – don’t change it unless you’re sure.
Other Reminders • Bubble in circles completely – stay in the lines. • Completely erase stray marks. • Try to complete all the problems – don’t leave any blank!
Other Reminders • Trust your teacher to have you ready. • Between tests, have fun at recess! • Do your best!
