5 Tips for IAR Testing. Get a Good Night's Sleep.  Getting plenty of sleep improves a child's cognitive function, memory retention, and problem-solving abilities, ultimately leading to better test performance and academic success. Stay Organized: Prepare the night before by laying out your student’s belongings. This starts the day with a sense of organization and reduced stress. It allows them to arrive at school early feeling calm. Eat a Nutritional Breakfast: Eating a nutritious breakfast before a test provides a child with the energy and focus needed to sustain their cognitive functions throughout the exam, improving their concentration and alertness. Read Carefully: Remind your student to read each question and answer choice carefully. Make sure they understand what is being asked before choosing an answer. Double-Check Work: If time permits, encourage your students to go back and review their answers. It's easy to make simple mistakes that can be corrected with a second look. IAR Testing for Grades 3-8 Takes Place on November 7th and November 9th.
