In May, 4th graders will be taking the state M-STEP test. In class, we practiced test questions and practiced test taking strategies.
If you would like to take a look at some of the sample item sets, go to https://wbte.drcedirect.com/MI/portals/mi/ott1 click on the “Sample Item Sets” and then “Grade 4”.
Tips to prepare for any test:
~Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep before a test, and make sure your child eats properly the day of a test.
~Ensure that your child is present during testing (children generally perform better when taking tests in their groups rather than at a make-up time).
~Get your child to school on time the day of the test.
~Wish your child good luck each morning of the test.
~Remind your child the test is important. Encourage him/her to do his/her best.
~Encourage your child to stay focused on the test, even if other students finish early.
