End of Course Exams will be administered beginning December 13, 2023, at Washington County High School and December 14, 2023, at Washington County Early College High School. Below are a few tips to help you prepare your child for their test.
1. Go to bed at a reasonable time. A good night’s sleep is essential to good thinking,
reading, and problem solving.
2. Eat a healthy, well-balanced breakfast every day. Eating high-protein foods
rather than sugary food can help students’ endurance and stamina.
3. Testing can be very stressful. Use relaxation strategies. Encourage your child to relax and do their best.
4. Avoid stressful situations and problems. Try to make your child’s morning pleasant. When concerns and problems are on a child’s mind, his or her school work and test scores may suffer.
5. Talk to your child. Please explain that you expect your child to stay focused throughout the school day, especially when testing.
6. Encourage your child to demonstrate polite, respectful behavior at school. Talking about positive ways to combat stress may also be helpful.
7. Be positive. Encourage your child with positive thoughts. Students will become more confident when they know that you believe they can succeed.
8. Arrive on time so the day begins calmly and pleasantly.
