This leaflet describes simple techniques for developing children's ability to do well on tests, as derived from research done through the Office of Educational Research and Improvement. Suggestions for parents are divided into five sections: (1) Why Test?; (2) Ask the School; (3) Avoid Test Anxiety; (4) Do's and Don'ts; and (5) After the Test. Check lists offer step-by-step methods for reducing test anxiety, preparing for tests, taking tests, judging a child's progress, and encouraging good study habits. (LMO)
