Keystone Testing:  Jan 6 - 20

• During testing times, we will run a 2-hour delay schedule.  Students will report to their 1st period class for attendance, then to their testing location following an announcement.  Any student not on the list to test in a particular subject will report to their shop during the 2-hour delay window.  Extended time will be done in the library immediately following the testing window.  Make-ups will be on a day-to-day basis depending on absences.
• How can you prepare the night before for any big test?

• Eat a good dinner the night before; this helps keep your mind sharp.
• Know where you are testing; this eliminates extra, unneeded stress.
• Gather your materials before you go to sleep.
• Get a good night's sleep.
• Eat a good breakfast; to avoid the "crash," avoid too many carbs.
• Dress in layers so you can be sure to be comfortable.
• Finally -- most importantly -- believe you CAN.
