The statewide assessment program is designed to provide parents, teachers, policy makers, and the general public with information regarding how well students are learning South Carolina’s academic standards. It is very important that students are prepared to do their personal best. Below are ways you can help during the testing period.
Before the Test
Please schedule doctor/dental appointments around test dates so that students are present and on time for tests each day.
On Test Days
Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast. This will ensure that your child is working at full capacity.
If your son or daughter wears glasses, make sure they have them.
Remain positive and help students avoid conflicts or becoming upset. Help your child stay calm. If students get upset about anything before school, they are likely to experience anxiety during the test.
Arrive on time.
