testing tips poster with 4 bubbles with kid clipart beside them with suggestions on good test taking tips

As we kick off SOL testing, here are some helpful tips to share with your child so that s/he can do his/her best on the test!

  1. Help make sure your child gets a good night's rest! A child who is well-rested is better set up for success.

  2. Be sure your child eats a good breakfast! If your child does not feel hungry, then s/he can fully concentrate on test taking.

  3. Tell your child to relax! Breathe! It's just a test. Offer some encouraging words. We know that your child is going to rock it!

  4. Celebrate! No matter the score, let your child know that you are proud of them for putting forth their best effort. The SOL test is only one assessment tool of many but isn't the only way to show learning success.

We are so proud of each of our Lions! We know that they are going to do their best!
