State testing is right around the corner and that can be scary for the students. Make sure to stress the importance at home of your student trying, rather than the importance of a higher score. Students need to recognize that their worth is not based on the scores they receive on a test, and that starts at home as well as in the classroom.
If your student is still feeling stressed then give them a chance to practice with questions similar to on the test, and practice using the tools that they are given during the test. This website offers practice tests for students. They can create an account if they would like to be able to see how well they do over time or save a test to come back to later. But you can still use the practice tests as a guest, and you do not have to create an account.
If you are still worried about your student's anxiety, or you see your student struggling more than you feel they should be, feel free to email me anytime and we can come up with a plan to make sure your student feels comfortable when the test comes around.
