There are many advantages associated with online learning for students. In fact, some students who face challenges learning in a traditional brick-and-mortar school setting can thrive in a Wisconsin online public school setting. With your guidance and encouragement, your student can do well, even when it comes to test-taking at an online school.
Plan Ahead
Your child may have a preferred way of learning that will help them retain the information better. Some methods of preparing for a test include:
- Reading over notes
- Reviewing material in the textbooks
- Using flashcards
- Developing practice tests
- Using practice tests provided in the textbook or workbooks
You may find that your student will benefit from a combination of these methods. First, planning eliminates the need for cramming for a test. Cramming the day or night before the test is not beneficial or conducive to learning the material. In fact, attempting to overload the short-term memory with information can increase your child’s stress levels and lead to anxiety and panic attacks. It also makes it more difficult to take in information and decreases your child’s potential.
Developing good, solid study habits allows your student to enjoy learning. It also gives the child space to discover and reach their full potential since they have the opportunity to truly employ their full efforts on the subject through Wisconsin Online Public School.
Get Ready Beforehand
Developing good study habits is a major part of testing well in a Wisconsin online public school. Another important component is taking care of the physical aspects of the student. For the best brain function, get a good night’s sleep. The body also needs nourishment to work well. A healthy meal before testing time is essential for supplying energy to the brain. In addition to making sure your student is well-rested and well-fed, you also need to make sure the test environment is ready.
Create the Optimum Testing Space
When the time for testing arrives, a noisy, cluttered environment will not be helpful. First, create a quiet space with few distractions for your student. Be sure the computer is charged and working and that necessary materials have been downloaded.
Some Wisconsin Online Public School tests will allow students to use their textbooks or notes to take the test. If this is the case, be sure to have these items handy. In addition, pencils, erasers, and paper should also be handy if your student needs to write down anything.
