Today's a Test Day

1. All students need to take a deep breath and relax.

2. All students need to know that this test is to show what they learned this year and that some of the questions can be worked out any way they know how. There isn't just one right way.

3. Don't panic. If a problem or example seems too hard, go to the next one but don't lose your place. Sometimes there are clues to how to solve examples or problems in other examples/problems.

4. Go over the test and try to do the easy problems first. They aren't always in the beginning. Make sure to keep your place if you skip around.

5. Don't give up if a problem looks hard. Read it over again two or three times and use your common sense. You can do it!
