I can support and prepare the students for this testing by teaching them good test taking skills and not planning a huge assignment or give them lots of homework during this testing. There is no need for me to stress the students out even more by giving them something that will give them anxiety or effect how they do on this test because they can not stop thinking about how they have so much homework to do.
Good test taking skills can be useful for the rest of your life--so it is important that teachers teach students these skills. Encourage students to get enough sleep before the tests and to eat a good breakfast. It is hard to think when your stomach is growing or you are so tired you can barely keep your eyes open. I also think that you should give you students facilitating anxiety, but not dehabilitating anxiety. You want your students to perform well, but you don't want to stress them out so much that they think it is a life or death situation.
