Coming Up! CogAT and IOWA testing for 2nd Graders. CogAT testing dates are October 15-17. IOWA testing dates are October 21-22.
Testing Tips for Families
1. Make sure your child gets plenty of rest the night before the test.
2. On the morning of the test, your child needs to get up in plenty of time so he/she won't feel rushed.
3. Feed your child a good breakfast. Research shows that children do better on tests if they have had a good breakfast.
4. Be on time for school.
5. Do as much as you can to make your child feel comfortable. Try not to say things to make him/her feel more nervous.
6. Reassure your child that no matter the outcome of the test you will still love him/her. Encourage them to simply do their best.
