Give These Strategies a Try:

 1. Make Test Prep Part of Your Daily Routine

‍Consistent exposure to test-style questions helps students build familiarity and confidence. Incorporate daily math practice online using the ASSISTments content library, which offers hundreds of problems aligned to common standards and assessments. You can even build your own problems to accurately match test-style questions. Before test day approaches, assign a math practice exam from the recently Released State Practice Tests, which mirrors the real test, so students get used to the format and question types. Daily practice will reinforce key concepts and ensure students are ready when it counts.

2. Simulate the Test Experience‍

Help students feel comfortable and confident on test day by recreating the testing environment in advance. In ASSISTments, you can turn on Test Mode to simulate real test conditions—complete with time limits, question order, and no immediate feedback.
Practicing under these conditions helps reduce test anxiety and equips students with the skills to manage their time and focus during the actual exam.

3. Monitor Progress and Provide Timely Support

‍A key part of test prep for success is knowing where your students stand. Use ASSISTments' real-time data tools to track student progress and identify areas that need improvement. Provide targeted feedback and extra practice based on your students' performance. By closing skill gaps early, you can ensure every student feels ready and confident on test day.
