AP, IB, STAAR, EOC…it’s that time of year.  Be ready to spend lots of quiet time in a classroom if you don’t have an exam and lots of time test taking if you do have an exam.

A few test prep strategies:

–       Attend review sessions offered by your teachers

–       Organize a group study session with friends

–       Get plenty of sleep

–       Make sure you are familiar with the format and timing of the test

–       Take a practice test if possible (especially for those pesky AP Exams)

–       Visualize your success (a technique used regularly by star athletes and business people).

–     And above all else, don’t forget to relax! Panicking will only decrease your performance on the test.

To all those taking these important exams: good luck! We know you have all worked very hard to get to where you are now, and Ray has every faith you will go much farther. Do us proud and ace those tests!
