Many of our schools have access to online practice exams and teachers quite often provide practice and study exams before the Big Day. It is up to parents to provide the support and structure required to enable their children and ensure they are prepared. For those feeling extra stress or anxiety, there are supports at the school as well.
Back when I was a high school and university student, I learned how to study on my own, but I still suffered from exam anxiety from time to time. I learned some breathing techniques to calm myself down before the exam and I also asked for extra tutoring time from my teachers or through private tutors. That is what worked for me, but having a discussion with your child and finding out what is best for them is the first step. You also may need to have a discussion with the teacher to find out how the two of you can assist your child. The teacher is there to see your child succeed, and once your child has left the K-12 system, the same opportunities don't always exist.
Throughout the year and each term, parents and students for Grades 7 and up can keep an eye on their marks and attendance via the HomeLogic online student assessment system. Login information is available through the school. The more you are involved in your children's school and in their learning, the better chance they have at success. Good luck to students writing exams!
