After the Test
You made it! Reward yourself.
HSA Testing Tips for Parents:
- Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep before a test, and make sure your child eats properly the day of the test.
- Maintain a pleasant home environment and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Try to make the morning of the test a pleasant one. Do not add to your child's stress.
- 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. Tell your child that he/she is special and that you believe in him/her!
- Remind your child the test is important. Encourage him/her to do his/her best.
- If your child is too ill to attend, please call the school office.
- Remind your child to listen carefully to the instructions from the teacher and to read the directions and each question carefully.
- Explain to your child the importance of using time wisely. If your child gets stuck on the question, encourage him or her to make the best guess and move on.
- Tell your child to attempt to answer all of the questions and not to leave any blank.
- Encourage your child to stay focused on the test, even if other students finish first.

Dear Mrs.Garrces,
People have comments but these are mine.I have some to share.
To begin,The HSA test was really easy. I only had one problem that I paused for a moment but I figured it out.
To continue,I thought the test was going to be really hard.I don't really like HSA because it takes to long.I don't really like long test's
To conclude,there 's still a long way to go before we end HSA testing.I can't wait.Also, those were excelent tips! Thanks!
