For students to do well, it's not just the academic learning throughout the year, it's the environment you set immediately before testing and even during testing that has a big impact. |
We're not power testing. With the SAT, it is just 28 minutes. But with the standards-based questions we want to be more natural, so students can have the time to show what they've learned. |
You don't want students stressed out, so if you set a nice tone like having healthy snacks, it's telling students this is a good experience ? that we're going to show what we've learned so we want to be at our best. |
