Want to encourage your child?

Sylvan says ASK FOR JUST TWO THINGS:
Every child learns and tests differently. Set realistic goals and encourage your child to do just two things: 1) try hard to do his best and 2) always ask you or the teacher if he needs help.

Skip an answer. If you are unsure of an answer, skip the question and go back if time permits.

Trust yourself. Rely on your instincts on the easy questions and never leave an easy question blank.

Read, read, read. Read the questions and answers critically.

Eliminate answers. Use the process of elimination. If you spend time working on a problem and eliminate two answers, you should make an educated guess.

Stop and check. After every few questions, stop and check to make sure the question number on the answer sheet corresponds with the question being answered in the question booklet.

Share your time. Don't spend too much time on any single question.

Focus on the questions and answers. Your job is to focus on the contents of the test, not the frequency of the answered letters.

Rushing only hurts you. Work at a good pace and rely on yourself to keep track of the time remaining for each section.

Enter the exam with confidence. Know the instructions for each section before you enter the exam room -- don't waste time reading the instruction the day of the exam.

End each section by reviewing. Revisit the questions that you either circled or marked with a question mark.
