What can I do to help my student?

Students who are prepared, calm, and rested perform better on tests. Here are some of the many ways to help your student approach Georgia Milestones in a relaxed, positive way:

 • Encourage your student to employ good study and test-taking skills. These skills include following directions carefully, avoiding careless errors, and reviewing work.

 • Explain the purpose of the tests. The assessments give students an opportunity to show what they have learned in school. They also give teachers information that helps them plan instruction.

• Point out that some items may be more difficult than others.  

• Be certain your student gets plenty of sleep and has a healthy breakfast and lunch. Taking tests

is hard work for many students and can require a lot of energy.

 • Be certain your student is at school on time. Rushing and worrying about being late could affect performance on the tests.
