FCAT TIPS
- Have your child get a good night's
sleep- at least 8-10 hours.
- Encourage your child to do the best
that he/she can, try to answer every question.
- Eat a healthy, protein -based
breakfast. Please try to avoid Sugary choices.
- Plan to be to school by 8:15 so the
children do not have to be rushed.
Try to avoid any confrontation with your child(ren) in the morning. They are
stressed and anxious already (just like you).
- Go to bed a little earlier, wake up
a little earlier, prepare everything the night before to avoid rushing and
tardies in the morning
- Reassure you child(ren) that they
CAN succeed. Remind them to take their time and do their best.
- Plan a "celebration" when testing
ends.
- Encourage your child(ren) to use the
peppermints provided at school. Peppermint stimulates the brain and relaxes
the stomach.
- Read at least 30 minutes a day. This
helps to build reading stamina when taking the FCAT.(This can be done ALL year
long-including any breaks.)
