My Test Tips

 For us kids at the lovely school of YHS, we are taking the yearly STAR test tomorrow until Thursday. Some of you may know that I have extreme test anxiety and I even fail the simplest of tests. Yes. That's how bad. Anyways, I do have a few techniques that always gets me through finals and STAR. Pay close attention. For you will thank me later.

~*~ My Test Tips ~*~

- NEVER drink coffee or tea no matter if it has caffeine or not. It will make you jittery, unable to focus, and you will have to pee. A lot.

- Eat a pretty good breakfast, because those pesky stomach growls will not help you half way through the test.

- Dress in comfort! The more relaxed you are the better you are able to pay more attention to your test.

- Buy some of your new fav songs on iTunes to keep you company after the test.

- Also, bring a book you know will pass major time.

- I'm going to shoot down a test taking myth right now. No, gum doesn't help your test taking ability. It actually distracts your brain and if your a big smacker, then I recommend to just not open your mouth at any time during the test.

- Wear your hair in a pony tail or a lose bun so you don't fuss with your hair.

- Bring advil because that much amount of time sitting in a chair will do horrible things to you. Horrible.

- Girls, just give up on doing your make up. It'll be rubbed off by your hand during the first half of the test.

I really hope these help, because that always helps me!

Until Next Time,
