Tricks for Test

Pretty soon students in grades third through ninth will begin taking the DC CAS .The DC CAS is a standardized test taken by students across Washington, DC.  Students are tested in reading, math, and writing. Lots of kids get stressed out around this time but I feel sad because the test is boring. Whatever the case, make sure you still do your best.

Follow these simple test taking tips for success:

• Go over the questions more than once.

• Think outside the box.

• Show your work.

• Pay attention in class.

• Eat a hot breakfast before the test.

• Get plenty of rest the night before.

• Take your time when answering questions.
