EOGs

Those Big Stressful Tests! By Christina Now that we’re in the fourth quarter we are getting ready for that that big test! Yes, the EOGs. The “big test” has been in the back of our minds since last year at this time but now that it has come back to our attention we are ready to bring out those stress balls. It’s aggravating and we just want to do well but during those few days we just can’t seem to calm ourselves down, and even if we do it’s when it’s already over. Here are a few tips to help unstress those big tests! At the start of the week or the week before make sure you start getting into a good night time routine. That way you’ll get enough sleep. If you have a lot of other things going on like play practice or a sports game then try and get as much homework as you can done at the place or at lunch the day you get it. Ask a parent, sibling, friend, or some one that will help you refresh your memory on some of the sections you have done through out the year. I recommend reviewing the things from the begging of the year. Eat a healthy breakfast. Eat a banana instead of a piece of cake; it will make you concentrate because you won’t be thinking of food through out the test. If you have done all of these things you should not be so stressed out, and if you are then relax now because West Lee teachers know what they are doing because we have exceeded the states score for the past few years now. So if you have been doing all of the things you have suppose to have been doing like testlets, week by week, and your homework you should do just fine. So relax and use these tips and you could soon be saying good bye seventh grade and hello eighth grade.
