Final Exams

Although there is still one month left to the school year, students should be thinking about preparing for their final exams.

How can parents support their scholars without interfering? Start by asking what your student's plan is for preparing for finals. This gives your scholar the high-ability cue that tells them you trust their ability to generate an effective study plan.

Ask if the exam is cumulative or not. If a plan has not already been designed, this will help give perspective regarding how much studying will be required.

Ask if the teacher is holding extra help sessions before or after school. Encourage the use of this opportunity!

Ask if the exam schedule has been posted online. Again, while developing a study schedule, it is important to know the date of the exam!

Ask if your scholar has a special request for breakfast on exam day. Wouldn't you like to have your favorite breakfast before your big work presentation?
