Test taking suggestions:
 
During the days/weeks of testing, please make sure look at these suggestions to help you complete your tests to the best of your ability.
 
  1.     Get a good night's sleep so you are well rested on the day of the test.
  2.     Eat a good, healthy breakfast so you don't get hungry during the test.  A growling stomach can take your concentration away from the test.
