CSTs - PLEASE READ

 

 

 

Hello Wonderful Learning Coaches,

 

CST testing is right around the corner!  Here are a few reminders for you as we continue on our road trip!

 

ü  If someone other than the Learning Coach is providing transportation for your student, please complete the attached consent form and bring it to the first day of testing.

ü  Be sure you know where your test site is located and prepare to arrive 15 minutes early. 

 

 

Ways to be successful for CST testing

 

Before the test

Ø  Get a good night’s sleep.

Ø  Eat a healthy breakfast. Bring healthy snacks.

Ø  Plan to arrive early so you don’t need to worry about being late.

 

 

During the test

Ø  Maintain a positive attitude.

Ø  Stay focused and relaxed.

Ø  Sit comfortably.

Ø  Expect and accept a little bit of stress. Take a deep breath and stretch.

Ø  Pace yourself.  Don’t worry if other students finish before you. There is no reward for finishing first.

Ø  Focus on the question and don’t let your mind wander.

Ø  If you don’t know the answer, skip it and come back to it later.

Ø  Write down key formulas or facts on your scratch paper so you don’t have to think about it.

After the test

Ø  Reward yourself for doing your personal best!

Ø  Be sure to get plenty of exercise.

Don’t worry how you did today, focus on tomorrow as a new beginning
