1.
Help your child
prepare for their
exams.

2.
Offer Emotional
Support
No matter your child’s age, being there emotionally
for him or her is a great way to help. Let your son or
daughter know that you understand the challenge of
test taking, offer encouragement, and stay attentive
should he or she display signs of stress. You can then
respond appropriately.

3.
When something becomes familiar, it usually
loses its mystique and hold over a student.
Students also tend to feel more in control and
more empowered when they know exactly
what to expect.Not only should parents
encourage their children to take practice
exams, whether in one sitting or in chunks,
but they also need to discuss the testing
environment.
Familiarize the Child
with the Exam and
Environment

4.
Be a Cheerleader
You can be a cheerleader for your child as he or she
readies for exams in a way that’s as expressive or
subdued as needed. Let your youngster know that
you’re always in support of him or her, and take cues
from the child to determine whether occasional
positive comments might be appreciated during
study time.

5.
Make test prep as fun as possible! Kids may
have different ways that they prefer to learn,
including visual, verbal, social, and solitary,
and parents often have a good idea of which
learning style best fits their children. It can be
effective to match test prep activities to your
child’s learning preference.
Tie Study
Techniques to the
Child’s Learning
Styles and Interests

6.
Talk About the Exams
Stay open to having conversations with your child
about upcoming exams. Ask whether he or she feels
prepared, inquire about what might be most valuable
in terms of studying, and be an ear in case your child
wants to vent about something or confirm their
confidence verbally

7.
Studying for exams should be a good
experience, as it gives your child time to
make sure concepts are memorized and
understood. Yet, it can be stressful if the child
feels a lack of knowledge, or if he or she is a
perfectionist. Remind your little one
that online exam prep time is a gift and a
valuable process, but it should be an
experience that is beneficial and not painful.
Encourage
Relaxation

8.
Seek Out Extra Help
Young learners often gain an advantage when
parents seek out extra help for state tests. Such help
comes in a broad range of possibilities: study groups,
tutoring, learning programs, and computer programs,
to name just a few.

9.
In addition to these tips for helping your child prepare for
exams, you can offer to sit down with your child and work
through material, give pretend tests, make an energizing
meal, or show relaxing mind and breathing techniques.
These tips can work well as your child prepares for
regular exams during a school year and for final
examinations.
