Bloomfield Elementary has been working hard all year and we are ready to show off during MAP Achievement Testing. Third through Fifth Grade will be completing the Missouri Assessment Program (M.A.P.) during April 27- May 1.
Here are some test taking tips for students and parents:
1. Get plenty of rest the night before each testing session.
2. Eat a healthy breakfast.
3. Be at school every day.
4. Do your very best – testing is very important. This is your chance to shine!
5. Don’t get stressed. Use the stress relieving techniques Mrs. Mayo taught you.
6. Take your time.
7. Answer all of the questions thoroughly.
8. Go back over your work and check for careless mistakes.
